In While (Cantabria) Two veterinary women have opted for quality breeding in the equestrian world. A few kilometers from the Cantabrian a singular project that changes the equestrian world approach in northern Spain has been born. In it Enlap Center Equine es pioneer in their territory and responds to a need of the Cantabrian equestrian community. Behind its six hectares of facilities there is no large company or a veterinary multinational. They are two women: Paula Sánchez-Pando and Lucía San Miguel, veterinary training, passionate about equine playback and determined to demonstrate that it is possible to offer an excellent service without neglecting the most important thing: the welfare of the animal.
“Pair was born from a shared passion. We had been working in different centers for some time and we saw clearly that Cantabria did not have a private, professional and well -equipped space for equine assisted reproduction. We wanted Play the professional.
He March 30, 2025 They officially opened their doors surrounded by colleagues, farmers, neighbors and friends. Since then, the activity has not ceased. The horse does not understand schedules or low seasons. “It has not been easy. The equestrian sector continues to have many inertia and prejudices and make our way with two women at the head of a technical project has constantly demonstrate our worth,” they recognize. “But it has also been very rewarding. We have found many people who have trusted us since the first day, and that has helped us to continue. We believe that part of our success is due to our way of working: very close, rigorous and with a very respectful look towards the horse,” they say. List offers everything that is expected of an equine and more. “Respect and empathy for the animal, technical rigor and honesty are above all. For us, each horse that enters into the unique is and we work from an integral view. We do not take shortcuts, we do not force processes and do not promise miracles. We want our clients to trust our professional criteria and that the horses are in an environment where they feel calm and well taken care of,” they say.
Enl is not just a reproduction center. “Many owners who came for a reproductive theme asked us if they could leave another horse to rest. And we saw that there was a real need for a quiet, safe and professional place where horses could disconnect,” they say. For this they have adapted facilities: broad paddocks, green areas, personalized routines and a natural environment that is in itself therapeutic. Before welcoming a new horse, a complete anamnesis is performed: “Know its routine, its habits, its diet. Each horse is different and we want, although it is only a few days, it does not suffer any abrupt change. Our team takes care that each animal receives almost personalized attention, which makes the difference.”
One of the identity of the center is its Bet on Liberty Breed. “We believe that Potro and Mother must be together in a natural environment. The foals develop their immune system, their motor skills and their character. The pack teaches them to relate, to establish hierarchies, to play. And the mares also benefit: they are quieter, less stressed and more balanced. We see it in every colt that is born here. The emotional, physical and social growth they have is impressive. They add.
Another of the List Services is the Injury recovery. Paula and Lucia have created a controlled environment, where each horse receives the follow -up and care it needs to recover well their rhythm. “We work in collaboration with different professionals: chiropractic, physiotherapists, horseshoes … Each case is something unique and the success of a rehabilitation often depends on the calm, observation and respect for the animal’s times.” Enlighters to “continue to grow without losing our essence. Continue to incorporate toe technology and, of course, continue to be a place where horses are well. Where they can be born, grow, heal or rest surrounded by respect, professionalism and calm,” Paula and Lucía conclude.
