At the forefront and as the foundation of the stud farm were mares owned by António Paim, Paulo José Carvalho Vidal, Coudelaria Marques da Graciosa, Alexandre Calheiros Ferreira and Isabel Maria Lopes Nicolau.
These came full by the horses Ajax II and Englobado, both from the National Stud Farm, plus Manuel Tavares da Veiga's Novilheiro. In 1992, Legionário officially became the first offspring to be born at the Tomaz da Cruz house.
