    Spectacular show

    It has been a long time since I have seen such a suggestive documentary about a fundamental aspect of Spanish culture.

    The world of the Spanish horse is very interesting and in this film it is told in an attractive and exciting way.

    Apart from the landscapes and the beauty of these animals, the photography and sound of the documentary provide a remarkable aesthetic aspect, making viewing it a highly recommended experience.

    I recommend everyone watch this film to better understand the Spanish horse, but also an important point of Spain as a country. In addition, the technical quality makes the experience much more enjoyable.

    Visual treat

    This is a well-researched documentary about the Spanish purebred horse, lovingly photographed by director Francisco Javier Fernandez Bordonada.

    It covers the history of this magnificent animal from its ancient origins in the Iberian peninsula to its reputation today as both an elegant show horse and also a sturdy, reliable workhorse for army and law enforcement agencies.

    The story is told through a series of interviews with historians, breeders and trainers, veterinarians, riders, the creator of an equestrian show and an Olympic dressage champion. Their deep affection for this intelligent, biddable yet spirited breed is obvious.

    The director is an experienced Spanish photographer and his use of light and location is exquisite.

    A Visual and Emotional Ode to the Noble Spanish Horse

    "El Caballo Español, el Origen" (Purebred Spanish: The Origen), is a documentary that goes beyond simply telling the story of an animal; it is an unforgettable cinematic experience that deserves to be recognized with the highest rating.

    Directed by the talented Spanish photographer and videographer, Javier Fernández Bordonada, this documentary immerses us in an exciting journey through the history and culture of Spain, through the eyes of one of its most iconic symbols: the Spanish horse.

    From the first frame to the last, I was fascinated by the beauty and grandeur captured by Fernández Bordonada's lens. Each scene is meticulously composed to convey not only the majesty of the Spanish horse, but also the deep emotional connection between man and his noble equine companion.

    The intimate and personal testimonies of the experts and narrators of the documentary add an additional layer of authenticity and emotion to the narrative. Through them, we not only learn about the history and role of the Spanish horse in Spanish society, but we also immerse ourselves in the passion and love that exists between man and horse.

    The cinematography and the soundtrack are simply breathtaking. Each image is imbued with a visual beauty that captivates the senses, while the evocative music transports us even further on this emotional journey.

    In summary, "El Caballo Español, el Origen" is a documentary that not only entertains, but also educates and inspires. It is a cinematic masterpiece that deserves to be seen and appreciated by all."
