Spanish Purebred Horses

Our Breeding StockBreeders of the best horses

• History

  At first we drew on the practices of the military stud farm to begin the search to find the dream horse that every horse enthusiast has in mind.
  In most of the old prestigious breeding stocks there was a recurring note: From the Military Stud Farm.
  This raised the question: Why have almost all the important farms brought in stallions from this stud farm?
  We found a very simple explanation: The military bred these species for their own use and what they needed most of all were strong animals, fit for working, good looking and easy to integrate quickly into their units without them having to spend much time in training or in useless struggles; what was most important was the horse’s willingness and obedience. And finally, they needed animals strong enough to endure long hours on the march and to stand up to the rigors of military discipline.
  
  All this is the reason why for a few years we relied on "Lego," "Cepellón" (Lebrijano III line) "Femento" "Esencial" (Albero II line) and "Velero." Later we gradually turned to the offspring from our stock and our mares from Marqués de Domecq. Today "Regent XV" Marqués de San Gil line (María Fernanda de la Escalera line) is replenishing the stock. Females recognized for their temperament and functionality, specially selected at Casa Domecq to sustain that breeding stock and later the stock of the Royal School of Equestrian Art in Jerez de la Frontera.

• Facilities

  The Candiota Stud Farm is located at a spot known as the fountain of health in Alcalá la Real. In the midst of thyme, olive trees and cornicabras our horses are bred in semi-free conditions. The climate and the altitude are features that make the horses grow with the hardiness and strength provided by the Sierra Subbética.
  
  Our facilities include:

  Yard for stallions with 6 stables and a tack room.
  Fenced area for mares and breeding.
  Pens for a breeding station, where mares with offspring can be comfortable without fights or accidents involving their foals.
  Six 4x3m delivery areas for pre-natal confinement.
  Veterinary examination room.
  Walker for adult animals, preparation for competitions or physical fitness.
  Pens for the animals to develop by age and gender, avoiding stress or unwanted accidents.
  40x20m training track.
