The Catria horse is the only indigenous equine breed in the Marche region and is in danger of extinction.
Nowadays, about seventy companies and individual farmers are breeding Catria horses,
mainly in Cantiano and Frontone municipalities.
Marche Region Register recognized the Breed Registry in 1980 and the former Italian Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry authorized it in 1990.
