the
Duke of Veragua

During this short period of time, the Duke of Veragua brought a very important, unfading and personal touch to the pure Spanish Arabian breeding. Passionated by the pure Arabian, he was constantly obsessed by improving constantly the genetic heritage of his horses; he was ready to wander through the whole world for it In 1926, he imported from the Clark's Courthouse Arabian Stud (England) the stallions AJLUN , SHADRACK and the beautiful and impetuous RAZADA, sire of NANA SAHIB and KASHMIR In 1929, he bought the stallion SIRIO III, , sire of SIRIO IV , born at the Marquis de Domecq’s |

as the mares and the younger foals were in
his estate of Valjuanete (between Toledo and Aranjuez ) where they were joined together by
the stallions during the breeding season |
