If you love Andalucian horses and Seville then why not consider a trip to the largest Andalucian horse fair in the world - SICAB, which takes place in this wonderful city every November. The family-owned stable we work with in Jerez is a pioneer in the art of the schooling of pure-bred Spanish horses in the classical tradition.
