Breeding Program

Over the years, our breeding program has been recognized with numerous awards by multiple breeding registries. From Premium Foal awards, State Premium Mare certifications, and successes in the show ring up to the FEI Level, including a top three placing at the Del Mar National CDI, horses born at CNDC have done it all. They grow up in small herds and are handled professionally throughout the first three years of their life before we carefully start and prepare them for their career as a sporthorse.

When selecting stallions, we at CNDC place great value not only at the very best bloodlines but also on performance in sport. Even our broodmares have proven themselves in the show ring. With more than 30 acres of irrigated pastures, our youngsters are growing up happy and healthy in a horse friendly environment.
