Since 2008 the brand of the breed is a heart with an inscribed E in the centre, symbol of the oldest origin of the stud: Encomienda.

So, we maintain the union with the original name tab of the breed, the heart, stud traditional brand of the Marquises of the Encomienda from Almendralejo, just as several specialized books of 19th and 20th century confirm, but at par we link by the symbol E with the oldest origin of the stud: the main primogeniture which was established by the first Sir of the half of the Encomienda, Lorenzo Fernández Becerra.

Marquises of the Encomienda´s old brand of the Spanish breed can be located in “The Book of the brands or name tabs which the breeders use for their horses” (1859) by Juan Zabala (Córdoba, Rafael Arroyo, 1860) in the “Raças cavalares da Peninsula e marcas a ferro” by Domingos Augusto Alves da Costa Oliveira (Lisboa, Typographia Belenense, 1905) or else in the most recent work by Carlos Orellana Chacón, The horse in Spain (Barcelona, 1956) among others.
