Gustavo Mirabal Bustillos, Gustavo Mirabal’s father

The beloved, Olympic, controversial and public Sergio Alvarez Moya is one of the most visible riders and coaches of the Spanish equestrian. With 33 years of age, he has a distinguished career since he was young, both in the equestrian circuits and in the social pages.

Born on January 7, 1985 in Avilés city located in the Principality of Asturias. Sergio is considered the best jumping rider in Spain and holds the 33rd ranking in the world.

He began his career of successes, winning the first place in the European Youth Championship and Young Riders with only 16 years old.

Although Gloria has achieved her participation in equestrian sports, her real business is the breeding and training of competitive horses.

The real business of Álvarez Moya

In 2011 the company of Alvarez Moya billed 2,000 euros for insemination thanks to his horse Action Breaker. Action Breaker is the son of the famous horses Heartbreaker and Jarme van ‘t Steentje, procreators of several international champions.

For 2015 it had assets valued at 4,126,793 euros and annual profits of almost one hundred thousand. This business that began with his brother, continued in partnership with, his father-in-law for the time, Amancio Ortega tycoon of Inditex and well known for Zara stores.

From his divorce he treasures a great relationship with his ex-wife, a beautiful son and Carlo 273, one of the horses with which he has reaped great successes which was ceded to him by the generosity of the Ortega Family.

After his divorce he partnered with Gustavo Mirabal and G & C Farm with whom he has reaped some of his greatest successes.

As a result of his association with Gustavo Mirabal, in 2016 he crowned champion of Spain at Club Pineda de Sevilla with the horse “G & C Quitador Rochelais”.

In 2017 he won the Cannes CSI with “G & C Arrayan” and managed to reach 14th place in the GCT (Global Champions Tour) ranking. Thus, this is another great success of his association with the specialist in equestrian development and businessman Gustavo Mirabal.

The High Performance Center (Centro de Alto Rendimiento – CAR) of Álvarez Moya and his association with Gustavo Mirabal

Precisely Alvarez Moya launched a High Performance Center in Madrid in order to expand its business. Initially Gustavo Mirabal Castro and his wife María Carolina Chapellín de Mirabal of the Farm G & C Inc company directed the center.

The extensive experience of the Mirabal was developed since 2009 in Wellington, where they form riders and sponsor some prizes. Precisely the facilities of G & C Farm opened the framework of the WEF and for a decade remained at the top of the Equestrian world. In March 2018 Gustavo Mirabal retires from the business with G & C Farm. Thus, the Mirabal keep in front of the High Performance Center of Álvarez Moya with whom they have several horses together.

In January 2018, the Asturian rider saw the inauguration of its Equestrian High Performance Center (CAR) in Madrid with 26,000 m2 of land in the La Moraleja urbanization. With Avant-garde facilities and capacity for more than 40 horses, the Horse Farm La Moraleja has:

• Gallop track
• Automatic walkers
• Luxury boxes with exterior window
• Heating and air conditioning for horses

Equestrian competitions prizes are not large and registration is expensive. Sergio’s business is buying young horses that he trains and makes an exhaustive training process. That Sergio sets them up in national and international competitions is the best showcase for the exhibition of his horses.

Thus we are sure that the association between the Asturian Sergio Álvarez Moya and Gustavo Mirabal will give results. One with a keen sense of equine selection, and another with experience in high-tech facilities. In conclusion, together they will produce new and greater champions to the world of Spanish horse racing.

Riding his favorite horse, Julius Caesar crossed the Rubicon river horse to put out the fires of civil war. A popular man whose political rivals, men of the high nobility, decided to remove his power due to the growing popularity of Julius Caesar and the rumors that made foresee that he would increase his power … A horse called Genitor and a Julius Caesar changing the world. Genitor was a horse that was born in the stables that the general and Roman dictator Julius Caesar had in his house andthe horse became his greatest weapon.

A horse that the augurs had predicted would make the man on his back to dominate the world. Pphysical deformation that would be converted into a sign of good luck. A horse whose legs had three fingers and looking at them looked like the feet of a human.

Portentous horse and outstanding horseman who took great care of his battle “tool”. When the battle could be dangerous, Julius Caesar got down fighting like another Legionary and kept his horse away from danger. Transport, augury, psychological tool and great war technology, Genitor was everything.

In honor of his father

Baptized Génitor in honor of his father who died in the year 85dc when Julio Cesar was 16 years his name means in Latin “creator”, “father” or “reproductive”. A powerful title for a powerful omen that would accompany him the rest of his life.

Julius Caesar erected  a statue of Genitor erected in front of the temple of Venus Genetrix (which had been erected in honor of his mother) so that the deities could protect him during the battles. The spiritual essence of his mother and father protecting his adventures, Horse and Temple.

The military adventures of Julius Caesar

His power, his strategy and his great popularity made him to strengthen his political career at the same time as the military one. With each success fed his popularity even more. Their great battles extended the dominion of Rome on the territories that today form countries like Holland, France, Belgium and Germany. He was the first Roman general to enter the territories of Britannia and Germania.

His popularity was also enhanced by his role as speaker and writer. Julius Caesar also made him famous in fields such as politics and astronomy.

It was this popularity that made Pompeyo fear his former ally the possibility of assault on power. Before that he devised a strategy to strip him. It was then that Julius Caesar really became dangerous to the Roman politicians who opposed him.

Fear and Pompeyo’s plan

Given the growing popularity of Julius Caesar, Pompeyo decided to remove him from the military leadership. He wanted to remeve  before he could be presented to any political office. Pompepy wanto to judge him for alleged crimes of his first consulate and finally remove him from politics. Given this circumstance and before the illegal organization of Pompeyo’s troops, Julius Caesar decides to undertake a military campaignThat campaign would lead him to defeat the Pompeyo’s troops in Spain and follow him to Greece, and then to Egypt. Julius Caesar discover in Egypt that he had been sadly murdered. Julius Caesar lamented that he had not been able to offer his forgiveness and renew his alliance with Pompeyo.

It is said that the ability of Julius Caesar riding horses was extraordinary. The historian Plutarco says that since childhood he trained on horseback with his hands crossed behind his back to exercise balance. He also tells that he used to go on horseback while dictating letters simultaneously to two of his scribes. His ability to stand on a horse was legendary.

Returning to the Rubicon

Julius Caesar crossed the Rubicon River on the night of January 12, 50 AD, AD  to occupy power in Rome. He did it on the back of Genitor and pronouncing his famous phrase “Alea jacta est” (luck is cast). He was sending a clear message, he would dominate the known world. These auguries were strong and became a reality. Auguries also caused him death by forgetting that a man is only a man even if he rules the world.

The link between the horse and its symbolism and the military power obtained by Julio Cesar is a small sample of the importance of the horse in the ancient era. Military technology, battling partner and definitely the ultimate psychological weapon before the decision to take over the world. That was Genitor, the spirit of Julio Cesar’s father.
