Actually the objective of the stud is, by means of a very serious selection, to have a very small stud in numbers, but of extraordinary quality, giving priority to the functionality. Each year we breed ten to twelve mares and from the products born we select two females that will remain in the stud and the rest is put for sale.
The mares are bred by natural breeding during the whole year and the horses remain free in the pastures during the whole year. For each mare a sire is selected, to improve those aspects that have been identified and that we believe will bring closer to the ideal of the Pure Spanish PRE Horse we are looking for.
An extremely functional horse, but also with extraordinary character an beauty. We have eliminated defects like the "boleo" and the "campaneo" and all our horses are of great strength, good bones and it correct morphological structures guided toward the best functionality.
