Fuego de Cárdenas, also known as Fuego XII, is considered one of the best dressage horses in history. Born in 1998, he is a Pure Raza Espanol (PRE), owned by Miguel Ángel de Cárdenas, and ridden by the Spanish rider Juan Manuel Muñoz Díaz. Muñoz describes Fuego as a horse with a strong character, exceptional movements, and a winning spirit.
Fuego’s strengths include passage transitions and a good gallop, making his flying changes appear natural and expansive.
Fuego’s notable performances include the 2008 Beijing Olympics, where he narrowly missed qualifying for the individual finals with a score of 68.160. In the 2010 World Equestrian Games in Kentucky, he earned the nickname “King of Hearts” after scoring 81.450%, securing fifth place and the highest score for the Spanish team.
Today, Fuego de Cárdenas is a source of pride for the Spanish horse community. His legacy includes his contributions to the sport and his valuable offspring.
