Welcome to the Aztec Andalusian Stud

Breeding pure (PRE) & partbred Spanish horses with emphasis on temperament, movement and functionality (often with the added bonus of unusual colours!)

Introducing our Stud

We are a small stud based in South Leicestershire and have been breeding these magnificent horses since the early 1990s. Once you have owned and ridden a Spanish horse nothing else comes close!

We aim to keep our horses as naturally as possible, so both our stallions run with their mares and foals all year round, making them very happy and contented boys. Being brought up in a herd environment has a positive impact on our foals with weaning being a gradual and natural process with no stress caused to mare or foal.

Our Mares

Picture
We believe that the mares are as important, if not more so, than the stallion. After all, it is she who produces, raises and teaches her offspring.
We currently have five carefully selected purebred (PRE) mares chosen for their temperament and type along with their proven bloodlines and movement. We have also retained a homebred mare, Aztec Fantasia, to join these broodmares, and she was successfully graded in 2015

Our Partbred Horses

Picture
​To produce the partbreds we chose the Quarter Horse and the Appaloosa, so therefore taking both of these American breeds back to their original Spanish roots. The resulting offspring from these mares have gone on to be extremely successful competition/show horses, and able to turn their hoof to most things.
In 2010 we also imported a PRE x Comtois to produce a quality, but very substantial horse.

​Our horses are our passion and we are particularly interested in the dilute coat colours but although we breed some rare and interesting colours, we don’t compromise on quality; keeping the excellent and proven old PRE bloodlines and type. 
All of our stock are registered with The British Association for the Purebred Spanish Horse (BAPSH) and the PRE stock are also registered with ANCCE in Spain. The partbred Appaloosas are also eligible for registration with The British Appaloosa Society.

Our Stallions

Picture
Our PRE stallion is the buckskin Currante VI whom we imported in 2011 from Barcelona.
His pedigree reads like Who’s Who, with superb Bocado lines. His dam being bred by the historic Miura stud and by the Calificado (and twice Champion of Spain) stallion Panadero XIV (a son of the legendary Lebrijano III and a full brother to PanaderoVIII – sire of Olympic Silver Medal Winner Invasor II & Internationally renowned Gaucho III).
Currante’s maternal great grandsire is the famous Vinatero III - the main stallion and founder of the renowned Escalera stud farm and bred by the Miura family.
He combines his sought after colour with top class breeding, temperament and movement.​

Our 23 year old homebred 3/4 PRE ¼ TB stallion, Espiritu, has been a most prolific sire, with over 45 foals to date, and we have retained two of his daughters for our breeding programme.
