So finally all was over, abit like the christmas-is-over-feeling you get when opened all the presents. We passed by Cárdenas on the way to meet up with some people and to see a stallion I had fallen in love with when we visited the farm summer 2008. Unfortunately we did not see good representatives of the Cárdenas brand, the quality of the horses were low, we saw toed-out, heavy head, fallen underlip, broken neck outline, defined cross mark and long backs. There was one horse that moved ok and had a correct conformation but the others had irregular movements, hollow backs and shuffling hindlegs. There was also a small correct stallion but he had ponylike looks. Not good. We then found out that at least two of the stallions were already sold, the deal was settled beforehand and the bidding was a set up and not real. Very disappointing. Mr Cárdenas would do better not only selling the horses he does not want, after all they are representatives of him.
We got home to a snowy Madrid late in the night.
