The first Spanish horses arrived in Australia in 1972 and were brought to the El Caballo complex at Wooroloo, by the Western Australian business entrepreneur, Ray Williams.
Williams established the El Caballo Blanco theme park at Catherine Field near the Sydney suburb of Narellan.
Its main attraction was its Andalusian dancing stallions, but the park also featured miniature Fallabella horses, and a number of non-equestrian related amusements such as water slides, train rides, and a small wildlife zoo.
After Williams' death in the US, the operations of the various El Caballo Blanco theme parks gradually wound down and ceased.
For many years after the closure of the Catherine Field complex, it was used for storing items such as carpets, until a fire engulfed much of the building housing the main show arena.
