About Us
​
The California Vaquero Horse Association is a non-profit horse registry for this special breed that helped settle California.
In the 16th century the Spaniards were exploring the world and found what was thought of as a mythical land full of mermaids, wealth, and rich land. This was the fabled land of California. The Spaniards brought over their popular war horses and turned legend into reality; all on the backs of their horses. -"The Origins of the name "California"

Ron Roubidoux
Ron is not directly involved with the CVHA but without his dedication and research of the Spanish Sulphur horses, we would not be where we are today with the horses. Ron is regarded by most as the Godfather of these horses. We highly recommend his book, Trail of the Line backed Horse, An Odyssey.
