In 1600 La Broue wrote “comparing the best horses, I give the Spanish first place for its perfection, because it is the most beautiful, noble, graceful and courageous..." and in the 1700's the Duke of Newcastle said that the Spanish horse were the most intelligent, gallant, and noble.
In this new Millennium we are convinced that very little has changed !

We have a good relationship with breeders and trainers thoughout the area.
One of our many valued contact is José Rodriguez and his son José. They are highly respected and reputable local trainers. At their yard Centro Ecuestre El Rocío horses are trained in the art of Doma Clásica (competition dressage), Alta Escuela (Highschool 'Spanish' Dressage) and Doma Vaquera (work in the field). Horses are trained here at a very high standard but all in a classical manner, based on trust, not force..... Both José 's are in high demand for exhibition work throughout Spain and even abroad.
We are members of ANCCE (Asociación Nacional de Criadores de Caballos de Pura Raza Española).
