Welcome to the web site of the Camarillo White
Horse Association. The Association is over 15 years old now and
the purpose is to record and maintain the lineage of the historic
breed of famous Camarillo White Horses. Founded by the white
stallion, Sultan, purchased by Adolfo Camarillo in 1921, these
horses can trace their ancestry back over 80 years.
The Association also has
an informative booklet available for anyone interested in these
horses. Please

About the CWHA
|
|
The Camarillo White Horse Association
was founded in 1992 with the sole purpose to preserve and maintain
the historic bloodlines of the original foundation Camarillo White
Horse, the white
stallion Sultan. The Association was formed when it became
apparent that the historic breed of horse so carefully bred and
developed by Adolfo Camarillo and subsequently carried on by
Adolfo's daughter, Carmen Camarillo Jones, was in danger of
extinction. As these horses are almost exclusively found in
Ventura County, CA, it was imperative to bring the owners together to
encourage the continuation of these horses that were for so long
exclusively owned by the Camarillo family. Since the founding
of the Association, there have been several white foals produced,
most recently two white stud colts born in 2006, to carry
on the lineage. Two foals were born last year
(2007) of which one was a white filly, the other a bay filly.
There are about 8 foals due this year.
The
Association encourages its members to breed their white horses to
strengthen the traits of
the Camarillo White Horses while maintaining the image of the
original stallion Sultan, and to also develop and preserve a horse
suitable for not only general riding, driving, etc. but which will
step proudly down a parade route. The Association’s motto is,
"Breed for conformation and pray for a white foal."
