The horses
The Son Menut stud was created by Antonio Barceló in 1981 when he purchased an Andalusian filly named Ischia G. from the María Teresa Gual de Pons’ stud, deriving from the Bocado livestock. Later, on August 10, 1985, Antonio acquired several mares from Mr. Joaquin Peña Buendia’s prestigious Sevillian livestock. Among those mares, Son Menut would like to mention Desertora III, as she arrived being pregnant by Glorioso and gave birth to Apocalipsis. The genetic basis Son Menut's stockbreeding bases on today were originated in the offspring of those two horses: Ischia G. and Apocalipsis. Later on, they have bred their horses with different stallions.
