Horses - Jerez
The
estate has been constructed with one thing in mind, to preserve
and maintain this beautiful type of horse. The Cartusian horse
has been around since the 15th century and the name was taken
from the Cartusian monks that introduced them to the area. The
Hierro del Bocado brand is the present day type of horse that
has descended from the original, and each horse is developed with
the characteristics it shows for certain aspects such as cow herding,
carriage work, or classical work.

This
is one of the most important reserves for thoroughbred Spanish

Situated on a private estate in front of an old Monastery on the

A
tour of this magnificent facility includes a walk through the
courtyard to the boxes where the carriage horses and the stallions
are kept, a peek at the new born foals in a clinic with some
of the most advanced technology in the world of horse research
and reproduction.
You
are also shown the area where the mares and colts are stabled
and you can walk amongst them, the harness room and shop, and
finally what could be more fitting than a glass of local sherry.
During the entire visit you are in contact with the horses,
and a personal guide is on hand during the tour around the estate
with detailed explanations on offer about the facilities, history,
and of course the horses.
