><p>My family has been breeding horses for three generations in Brosville, a Norman village nestled in the Iton Valley, about a hundred kilometers west of Paris.<\/p>\n<p>My grandfather built the stables and bought our first mares \u2014 at that time, French Saddle mares.<\/p>\n<p>Since then, horses have always been part of our lives, around the house, at the foot of the cliffs overlooking the Iton River.<\/p>\n<p>After several trips to Latin America, we decided to start breeding Criollo horses, and from the \u00c9curies des Roches was born the stud farm \u201cCriollos de las Rocas.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Today, our herd consists of about eight Criollo mares imported from Argentina and the stallion YANCA HALC\u00d3N \u2014 Grand Champion of the 2022 Buenos Aires Autumn Show.<\/p>\n<p>We chose to source our mares and stallion directly from Argentina, in order to bring \u201cnew blood\u201d to France and thus avoid inbreeding \u2014 our breeding line does not descend from any existing French stud (not even partially).<\/p>\n<p>We selected mares with excellent conformation and genetics. It was a major investment, made even greater by the cost of air transport, but we are certain it was worth it \u2014 the Criollos de las Rocas are unique in France!<\/p>\n<p>Our horses are born and live in herds, in large pastures, all year round. Young foals are raised not only by their mothers but also by the other mares in the herd during the first months of their lives.<\/p>\n<p>All of them are registered with the Sociedad Rural Argentina, which means they are purebred and fully registered, and therefore eligible for breeding as Criollos.<\/p>\n<p>The starting (breaking-in) process begins at around two and a half years of age and follows natural horsemanship principles. We attach great importance to this learning phase, as it shapes the horse\u2019s future. It\u2019s about building the horse\u2019s foundations by truly educating the young foal.<\/p>\n<p>The work starts on the ground, to establish trust and gain control over the horse\u2019s movements. It\u2019s a process that is both fascinating and essential. Too many horses pay \u2014 sometimes dearly \u2014 for the mistakes made by their trainers.<\/p>\n<p>If you buy a foal just after weaning, you\u2019ll need to handle and\/or get help with its education yourself.<\/p>\n<p>If you purchase a three-year-old or older from our breeding program, its training will already be well advanced.<\/p>\n<p>The Criollo is a late-maturing horse, reaching full development around five years old, giving you plenty of time to refine its education during that period. You\u2019ll then have a wonderful horse for the next 20 years \u2014 guaranteed!<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div><div  class='flex_column av-aip0a-f651239f87c5412c84ad213a70db786a av_one_third
