Campolina Horse

The Campolina Horse originated within Brazil in an area called Entre Rios de Minas. A man named Cassiano Campolina developed the breed in 1857. Though, according to research and history the Campolina breed was not really developed until later in 1870. This began with a single mare of black colored called "Medeia". After breeding with this mare, which was a Brazilian horse with a stallion that was an Andalusian, the result was a foal called Monarca, which is thought to be the founding member of the Campolina Horse.

However, though Monarca, part Andalusian and part Barb Blood is considered the founding member of the breed, there are many other breeds of horses that has significantly influenced the breed altogether.

These breeds include the Rio Verde, which is a breed from the Mangalarga Machador line, as well as the Yanke Prince, which is an American Saddle Horse breed. The Teffer, a Holsteiner breed, the Golias a quarter Clydesdale Breed, and the Menelike, an Anglo-Normand breed all contributed to the Campolina Breed formation.
