Black PRE filly

Rico MHF x Golosa de la Parra (by Dejado)

Born May 22nd, 2008

This filly is incredibly athletic. When she was not even an hour old, she was doing canter pirouettes and levades around her dam. She even did a capriole when I was taking her photos at 2 days old. She just loves to move; sliding stops, roll-backs and leaps, she is poetry in motion. So her name, which means dancer, was with her from the beginning. Should mature around 15. 1 hands. Very compact, elevated and close-coupled, she is excelling in difficult maneuvers even at this young age. Nice leg elevation also. She is sweet, friendly and curious. Beautiful white star and a white right rear pasturn. She will stay black. She has been DNA tested black and is also carrying the rare and elusive chestnut gene (aaEe). Lovely head with a very classic mild sub-convex profile.

Paperwork submitted with ANCCE, P.R.E. Mundial and IALHA.

Bloodlines include several American and Spanish Champions: Navarre GF, Ladina, Teodoro, Marciano II, Dejado, Recluta and Bilbiano III. She is 1/4 Guardiola.

Great broodmare and athletic prospect.

Chistoso WC

Bay yearling PRE stud colt

(Rico MHF x Hilandera AP)

Born April Fool's Day 2007!

This is an eye-catching colt. He looks good even in that awkward yearling growth stage. Should mature close to 15.3 hands. He was 15 hands at 16 months of age. Will be a bright blood bay with very dark black points like his dam. You don't find this lighter bay in the P.R.E. very often. Carries the black gene from his sire. DNA color tested AaEE (no chestnut gene) No white markings. Straight, long head with a beautiful eye and an elegant neck with a clean throatlatch. As with all Rico foals, he also has his sire's stong hind end.

Registered/Inscribed with ANCCE of Spain, P.R.E. Carta in-hand. Codigo#7240150701EU099

Also registered with IALHA and PRE Mundial registries.

Flashy with tons of brio, but sweet, friendly and easy-going. Very good temperament for a stallion. Stallion quality but would also make an exceptional gelding. Good mover with a light front end.

FOR SALE

registered half-Andalusian gelding,

a big (16.1 at 3 years old) black and white pinto.

Dominio has an unbelieveable suspended animated regular trot where it seems like he just hangs in the air. Great extension. Long swinging walk. Very loose shoulder. Wonderful canter that really covers some ground. We think his fantastic gaits are due to his big overstride. Huge hind end, very powerful

This guy can move!

Fantastic dressage prospect. At the walk, he has close to a 10-12" overstride!

Prefer to sell to a competitive dressage home.

He has it all, size, superb movement, wonderful temperament and flashy color.

He looks and moves like a warmblood, but has the lightness, softness and willingness of an Andalusian.

Domino is now greenbroke. He has been ridden on the trail several times and handled it like a pro. He is really amazing and did all of this with his usual unruffled demeanor and never made a bobble or resisted in any way...just accepted everything in stride. He would also make a great trail horse. Incredibly comfortable ride. Canters easily on a soft rein.

He is going to make someone a VERY special horse!

***Domino won a second place and a top 5

National Grand Champion 2 and under colts

at the 2005 Nationals at only 6 months of age!***

Congratulations to Roxy Montana of El Rancho Antigua in Hollister, California!

7/16/2008 email from Roxy:

" I get several calls a month from people who say that they still kick themselves often for not having purchased Escarlata, your "RED mare" (Rico x Hilandera de la Parra), as everyone has come to call her. They want to know if I would consider selling her. My response is a hard-lined, "No way! I would have to look far and wide to replace her, but her offspring MAY be for sale in the future. I am fortunate to have her own me!" This mare is stunningly BEAUTIFUL, Suzy. Sometimes she makes goose-bumples on me! When I have visitors come to my ranch to see my horses, they are floored by her balanced confirmation and remark, "Oh,my, when she matures in a year or two, years, she is going to be the one to beat". Then when they see her move ... I love to watch their expressions - she really has stride, Suzy! Her extension is some of the best I have ever seen. Now all I need is consistency in the show arena and you had better believe that we are working on it! The bottom line is that this is truly a remarkable mare - a testament to her fine breeding - yours - and I will strive to be as good. I cannot thank you enough for the pride and joy of ownership of such a special pure Andalusian horse. "

11/18/05 email excerpt from Taz's new owners

"Jerry and all our horses spent the summer at the Parelli Ranch in Pagosa Springs , CO studying in their University program. Jerry is working on becoming a Parelli Instructor. One of the things they worked on was colt starting so it was perfect for him to have Taz there. On Taz's 8th ride they went on a trail ride in the mountains where he swam through a pond, jumped over logs & creeks and traversed some pretty rugged country. On his 12th ride he rounded up cattle on him. Taz has been such a delight and Jerry is anxious for him to grow up a bit so he can use him more and more.

Taz quickly became a ranch favorite (even though there are hundreds of horses on the ranch At the end of the summer Jerry did, in fact, become a Parelli instructor and was asked by Pat & Linda Parelli to join the faculty at the Study Centers. As a result, he is in Ocala , Florida from Oct-April and back to Colorado from May-Sept. teaching horsemanship to others. Taz, of course, as he develops will become Jerry's demonstration horse and will probably be a celebrity in short order as he has so much personality and is full of play! Everyone who sees Taz wants to know what kind of horse he is and thinks he is very neat! I think Jerry is planning on taking Taz at some point to a Reining Clinic with world champion reiner Craig Johnson.

Needless to say, we absolutely love Taz as does everyone who comes in contact with him and he is in a situation where his many talents and abilities can be developed and showcased. We will keep you posted on our little "superstar"! "
