About seven years ago, I visited the Juan Díaz Navarro stud farm the first time with a friend. First, we visited Sicab in Seville, where we had an appointment to meet Lucía.
A few days later, we went to her stud farm, where we were welcomed with open arms, love, and hospitality. They showed us some horses, and we were able to go out into the fields with the mares and foals.
All these horses were so charming, relaxed, and well-behaved! Normally in a herd you would expect some stress or mothers wanting to protect their foals. But none of that. They all came to welcome us very kindly and asked for pats and cuddles!
Of course we did! And it was hard to leave... we just couldn't stop being there with the horses.
It was a great day where we also met Lucía's parents and they spoiled us with their homemade olives.
A few years later, I returned with my husband. Again to visit and see the horses, but also to see my friend Lucía again. We kept in touch and shared our conversations about horses. I learned more about breeding, grooming, and other things.
The hospitality, the honesty, but most important to me is the love they have and feel for their horses! They also treat them with great respect, knowing each horse not only by name, but also who that horse is... just as they would know a person. All of this is reflected in the character and behavior of the horses. They are all honest, beautiful, and well-behaved.
If I have the opportunity to have a horse again, I have no doubt where to buy it. It will be with these beautiful people who breed not only for money but with their hearts in the right place...❤
