Native Andalusian Horses

Gallop on Native Andalusian Horses

Known as Pura Raza Española horses, Emilio has raised and trained most of their herd of stunning horses since birth. Along with a few Hispano-Arab crosses, the horses have been raised together and roam around free on 500 acres of land. Emilio and Mamen pride themselves on the attentive and natural care they have provided their animals. All the animals are kept fit by walking up to 20km a day and are often joined on the fields by cows, donkeys and even deers that are free to rove around the grounds of their amazing, authentic property.
