Description
Since 2001 this Ranch has provide an exceptional breeding of Spanish horses P.R.E. The area were the membrane was built is going to be used as a small lounge for VIP clients and friends that visit the place and come to see the beauty of the ranch and its horse breeding. A series of 3 cones was developed and the support is constructed of steel elements, also was very important not to use external cables as this can interrupt with the horse movements and presentations.
