La Troja, a farm located in San Luis de Santo Domingo, in Heredia, is dedicated mainly to coffee growing, but horse breeding has also been developed in recent years, which has led to championships at the national and Central American level.
Creole, Andalusian and half-English horses constitute the main base in equine breeding. Adelita Loría and her son Alberto dedicated themselves fully to this hobby, for ancestral reasons, although her husband, Arturo Loría, has also begun to feel the same hobby.
“We thought, in addition to coffee, to continue with the horses, since the whole family is fond of horse riding, especially Alberto, my second son, who takes part in all the topes,” Adelita said.
They obtained triumphs with animals such as Trianera, a 6-year-old Creole mare, which in 1975 was classified as the grand champion of the area at the Livestock Exhibition of the Central American Isthmus (Expica).
Since its inception, this mare has accumulated successes. The first year she was classified as reserve champion, the second year as grand champion and adult champion, the third year as grand champion of the isthmus and in the last livestock exhibition, in Bonanza, she was classified as champion of champions.
The mare was awarded, on this occasion, for maintaining her excellent conditions that have allowed her to retain the title for four years.
Mrs. Loría does not hide her satisfaction with the triumphs, and states that the hobby It is expensive, but added to this is the satisfaction of seeing your efforts rewarded.
