Recent genetic tests have shown that the Abaco Barb had the purest Spanish Barb blood of any related breed to be found today. Abaco Barbs were found in only one place, the island of Abaco in the Caribbean Sea. In the past, this breed was distinguished, among many other traits, by its commonly "splashed white" pattern, which is very rare in other breeds. The Abaco is a small horse, extremely rugged, with excellent bone and stamina. Unfortunately, the last Abaco Barb outside of Horse Isle died in 2015, so the breed is now extinct.
