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 click here for more information.

The web site has just been updated with new pages featuring the two foals born last year, a white filly, Reina, and a bay filly, La Gaviota. About 8 foals are due to be born this year and hopes are there will be some white ones amongst the crop.
