Caroline, our guide, was fantastic. She explained so many details about the history of the horses, the breeding process, the mother/colt relationship, etc. She was fun, kept the entire group engaged, and encouraged questions. She continued to keep informing us, even after the exhibition. We were so lucky to have her as our guide.

Full description

Head to the historic state of Fuente del Suero in Andalusia to see the world’s best known stock of Cartujano horses. From ancient times, these noble beasts played an important role in Spanish culture, and the Yeguada de la Cartuja stud farm, next to the Monastery of La Cartuja, is the perfect location to breed them, thanks to the climate and fertile lands.

The region was made famous when the Carthusian Monastery became the undisputed center for breeding Jerezano horses in the 15th century. The tradition has continued uninterrupted to this day, and the stud farm boasts more than 200 of the thoroughbreds.

You will taken on a guided tour of the farm to learn about its dedication to the preservation and improvement of the Cartujano breed. See free running colts and mares, free running stallions, a dressage exhibition, the current batch of foals, and more

Watch the grace and power of the prestige breed, and discover why they are the national pride of Spain.

Unfortunately my sat nav took me to the school in Jerez which left me 15 minutes late for the tour. We couldn't find our English speaking group however joined a German speaking group as I speak German . The tour is excellent, I cannot fault it at all. A fabulous place, staff are friendly and accommodating, horses are beautiful.
