Candau Stud Farm Proclaimed The Best Pre Stud Farm in Spain

Saturday, November 30 - Today, after a tough week of tests, qualifiers and more tests for both horses, owners and judges, the Spanish Champions for each category were announced. Looking at the results, the most consistent winners of the year with three awards under their belts are Candau and Ferrero stud farm, respectively. Candau stud farm was awarded for the Best Breeder Stud farm and for the Mare Champion of the breed with Hindu, a six-year-old mare of Hechicero V and Toronja. Managed by Mr. Candau himself from Seville, this stud farm has won the top award for six years consecutively. The secret to his success, according to him, is the "continuous work and dedication of his staff, who are all part of his family. They all work together towards the same aim. He is very proud of all his family and these prizes go to all of them." Candau is probably the farm that in recent years has sold more stallions and products than any other to sire and strengthen other stud farms

Ferrero stud farm from Balears Isles, was awarded the best exhibitor stud farm in overall as well as the Colt Champion Award with Fer Tempranillo, a two-year-old colt, whose father Mañoso II and mother Genuina II, are the same origins as the Best Movements Champion, Fer Bonita, a four-year-old mare. Ferrero Stud farm has won a total of 287 awards in the last two years and it seems they are well positioned to be in the running for further prizes in the years to come
