initial selection

The important thing was not only that these mares and stallions were excellent morphologically and functionally, as they had proven this by becoming Champions of Spain, but they also had to have that excellence established in their genetics. They came from a lineage of Champions of Spain. As their ancestors and collaterals were Champions, they evidenced the genetic fixation on excellence.

embryo transfer

Breeding with the mares of the iron itself
In 2011, embryo transfer was gradually dispensed with and bred directly with the mares daughters of those champions, who keep the attributes of their mothers still improved, using the best stallions of the iron itself, which also improve their champion parents.
Bárbara Mater (Triunfadora XXX and Judío VII), is one of the mares of the first litter, which began to be used as a mother in 2011, being the mother of international champions such as Heiress Mater, by Desdén Mater.

demanding upbringing
In addition to good genetics, breeding loaded with certain demands is necessary, which enhances genetic traits and helps classify litters more quickly.

The iron or character of YEGUADA MATER · CHRISTI is a capital M and a capital P intertwined.
