Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The Cheval Navarrin, also called Navarin, Navarrois, Tarbais, Tarbesan or Bigourdin, is an extinct breed of light saddle-horse from south-western France. It was bred principally in the plains of the Pyrenees around Tarbes, and in Bigorre, now in the Hautes-Pyrenees. It stood about 148-151 centimetres at the withers. Lively and elegant, it had an excellent reputation throughout the 18th century. It was used as a mount for light cavalry, as a saddle-horse and for classical dressage.
