Carthusian Andalusians?

I recently came across this strain of horse and found it very interesting! I know I’d be thrilled to have it added to the game, what about you guys?
“The Carthusian originated in Spain. It is also known as the Carthusian-Andalusian or Carthujano. It is used for riding and is 15.2 h.h. The Carthusian is not a separate breed from the Andalusian, but rather a distinct side branch that is usually considered the purest remaining strain. This is one of Spain's most prestigious lines of the Spanish horse and has one of the oldest stud books in the world. The Zamora brothers, who had mares of this breeding, purchased an old horse named El Soldado. They bred him to two mares. The resultant offspring were a colt and a filly; the former was Esclavo, the foundation sire of the Carthusian strain. Esclavo was dark gray, considered to be a perfect horse. He produced many outstanding offspring, which were purchases by the breeders of Jerez.”
“The Carthusian head is light and elegant with a slightly convex profile, broad forehead, small ears, and large, lively eyes. The neck is well proportioned and arched; the chest is broad and deep; the shoulder sloping; the back short and broad; the croup sloped; and the legs are sturdy with broad, clean joints. Nearly all members of this breed have good conformation.”
