Campolina Horses for sale on ehorses

The Campolina is a relatively new breed from Brazil so its breed standard is still developing. It is the largest of the gaited breeds of that country and is a prized riding and harness horse, capable of working as a light draught animal. It is a very popular breed in Brazil where there are 85,000 registered Campolina Horses. Most equestrians buy a Campolina for their comfortable gait and they are also emerging as competitive dressage horses. With over 7,000 registered Campolina breeders in Brazil, it is easy to buy a Campolina there. The horses are named after Cassiano Antonio da Silva Campolina, who established the breed in the nineteenth century.

Use and characteristics of the Campolina

The Campolina is a powerful and impressive horse with distinctive looks. Stallions average 15.2 hands (62 inches/158 cm) high and Mares 15.0 hands (60 inches/152 cm) high. While no coat colors are disbarred, dun, buckskin, bay and pinto (Pampa) are most frequently seen, and they are all striking. Breeders sometimes also sell a Campolina that is dun-coloured with a dorsal stripe and zebra-style markings on the legs. Silver-gray is one of the most popular colors among equestrians who buy a Campolina. Campolinas have trapezoidal heads with convex profiles and flat foreheads. The smooth, comfortable four-beat ambling gait of the Campolina is known as the marcha verdadeira, or “true march”.

Origin and history of breeding Campolina Horses

Some fascinating stories have grown around the Campolina horses, including the suggestion that Cassiano Campolina developed the breed for a traditional event to celebrate the launch of a railway! It’s recognized that 1870 was the foundation date for the breed at his Fazenda Tanque estate in the famous horse-breeding area of Minas Gerais in Brazil. A black mare called "Medéia", a gift to Campolina from a friend named Antonio Cruz, was bred to an Andalusian stallion belonging to Mariano Procópio. Emperor Dom Pedro II himself had given the well-bred stallion to Procópio. Campolina was an experienced horse breeder with a clear vision of the type of horse he wanted to produce, a strong, characterful horse for riding and carriage work. The offspring of Medéia and the stallion was a stunning gray colt who would become Monarca, the foundation sire of the breed. Later, stallions of Anglo-Norman, Thoroughbred and Percheron were used as well. After Campolina’s death, his farm was bequeathed to Joaquim Pacheco de Resende, who decided that the gait of the Campolina would benefit from improvement. To this end, he used two Thoroughbred stallions and a walking stallion said to have Clydesdale ancestry. Holsteiner, American Saddlebred and finally Mangalarga Marchador horses contributed to the breed before the studbook was closed in 1934 with the establishment of the first breed standard. The breed organization is known as the Campolina Breeders Association. Refinement of the breed focussed at first on conformation for a smooth and regular gait, with an emphasis on a rather long back and an even height in both withers and croup. Now that the breed is being used for dressage a slightly different conformation, with withers higher than the croup, is encouraged, and a somewhat different head and jaw shape have emerged.

Campolina Horses in equestrianism

The popularity of the breed in Brazil proves the success of these strong horses with their muscular, yet elegant necks. Their conformation in outline is harmonious and balanced, from the long, well-set neck to the full croup. For pleasure or trail riding, and for harness and light draught work, the Campolina is a handsome all-rounder.
