Breeding history
In 1870 Cassiano Campolina, farmer received the Fazenda (= farm) Tanque in Entre Rios, from a friend a black Berber mare named Medea, which he with an Andalusian stallion crossed that its owner, Mariano Procópio, by Emperor Pedro II. Had been given .
The colt born from this cross was dark gray and was named Monarca . Monarca is considered to be the founding stallion of the Campolin breed. He died in 1895. The breeds that Campolina bred into his herd of horses from this crossing were Anglo-Normans , Clydesdale , Holsteiners , American Saddle Horses and Mangalarga Marchador . The latter should refine the Campolina breeding. Cassiano Campolina died in 1909. His horse breeding, however, which was to lead to the Campolin breed, was further refined by employees, especially Joaquim Resende, by crossing with Criollos , Marchadors and finally with English thoroughbreds .
A stud book was opened in 1934 and the breeding standard was established. The Campolina Horse Breeders Association was founded in 1938 and has had its current name, Associação Brasileira dos Criadores do Cavalo Campolina, since 1951 and is based in Belo Horizonte . In 1975 and 1993 the breeding standards were renewed. Today around 85,000 campolina horses and a little more than 7,300 campolina horse breeders are registered with the association.
