ENCANTO WC SOLD!
(Rico x Hilandera XVIII)
2004 Black stud colt
Congratulaitons to Al Martinez of California
Encanto is now happily back with his original owner Al!
Below Encanto is 3 years old on the left and is 6 years old on the right
Here is what Alexandria of Renaissance Equestrian Center had to say about him:
"Encanto has just recently started dressage training, and is going to be an incredible competition horse. He has been ridden English and Western, and truly is capable of being successful in any discipline. His trot work is a pleasure to sit. I am taking Encanto to his first Dressage show in September if he is not sold by then. I recently started leg yeilds and shoulder in, Encanto is extremely talented and is learning the lateral work with ease! This horse with the correct training could easily be an upper level horse. I have been buying lottery tickets ever since I meet him. I would buy this horse in a heart beat. Last month Encanto was booked for 5 breedings in the same week. He was bred 5 days in a row, the day he returned I rode him with 2 mares and he was perfect. He did not even nicker at the mares, he worked as if he had not been bred all season. Encanto has no stallion vices, he is quiet and a gentleman his stall, I walk him all over the training center with no stud chain around mares. As calm and quiet as Encanto is, my favorite thing about him is that you can still spice him up under saddle while working in the dressage court and then take him on a trail ride and he is the well mannered horse that makes riding out on the trail a pleasure. Encanto is very forward and moves off the leg easily. Encanto is not spooky and is very easy to handle. The owner is only selling this horse because he has too many stallions. I have never seen a stallion this nice for sale in the US."
Fogoso WC SOLD!
Black PRE stud colt
Rico MHF x Mirame ORO (by Indiano XVIII)
Born April 11, 2009
This colt's exceptional bloodlines, conformation, movement, look-at-me attitude, quick intelligence and beauty make him a superb individual for the show ring or the breeding shed.
He has 2 perfectly matched back pastern socks and will be a stunning black. DNA tested aaEe, he also carries that rare chestnut gene from his sire.
His illustrious Champion pedigree includes both Navarre GF and Indiano XVIII as his grandsires.
He is half Guardiola, a rare and treasured athletic Spanish breeding program that is hard to find here in the US and Spain. His Guardiola bloodlines include 2 crosses to the Guardiola Champion of Spain Centella V as well as Marciano II.
Indiano XVIII was also Champion of Spain as well as Mexico and the US and Navarre GF was Champion in the US and this colt's sire Rico MHF was also a US Champion. This colt's pedigree overflows with renowned Champions making him a perfect future cross with any quality mare.
He has tremendous brio mixed with intelligence and willingness to please, that will make him shine in the show ring.
Beautiful long straight head, gorgeous well-set neck and close coupled, he also works off his hocks extremely well, elevating his front end easily even at this young age. His movement shows extreme impulsion, extension with actual overstride at the trot and great lift. Check out those extremely strong and robust hindquarters he got from his sire that you rarely see in this breed. .
This colt really does have it all!
Congratulations to Jennifer Larkin of Missouri!
Good luck with Fogoso in the dressage arena!
**Note: Fogoso won several of his first dressage training show classes with scores in the mid 60's and mid 70's
and is now scoring in the 70's in recognized shows. Already at second level after being under saddle only 2 years.
He's off to a wonderful start with a bright future ahead!
Note from Jennifer 1/2012

I want to thank you for all you have done and taught me. I believe everything happens for a reason, and I'm lucky to have

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"! "

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 XVIII), 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-bumps 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. "

"Suzy, you were a great person to buy my first stallion from. You have been a wonderful source of information when I needed help with registrations and paperwork. The colt I bought from you has the most tender personality. He is loving and gentle with a strong regard for people. EVERY trainer that has worked with him has been impressed with how quickly he learns and how easily he handles stressful situations. Chistoso is maturing into the most wonderful show horse and a faithful friend. I am delighted every day that I was given the chance to own such a wonderful animal. Thank you."
2/2011 email from Rhea:
"Today, after working my other 1/2 Andalusians in the round pen at home I went to visit Chi. There were two youth riders working their ponies in the indoor arena and a yearling filly in the round pen. I asked the owner of the yearling if I could use the round pen and she happily moved the filly. Chi quietly walked through the kids riding into the pen where we worked for 1/2 an hour. The kids were riding around the pen, there was a tractor brought into the arena area, the young girl started lunging the yearling filly....in other words, no end to the distractions yet Chi paid attention to me at all times. He seemed happy to see me and just wanted me to enjoy being with him. After working with him we returned to his stall, took off all his tack and replaced his blankets while he was untied the whole time. He really loves to be handled by me. When we were done and I was packing up, the young girl with the yearling approached me and said, "If Kevin hadn't taken me in the stall last week and proved to me your horse is a stallion, I would never have believed it. He is SO well mannered!"
So MY horse is AWESOME, he is the star of the barn, everyone that meets him loves him and I have YOU to thank for this!!!
Thanks again Suzy for trusting me to raise this fabulous horse! He has become the joy of our lives, both Erik and I are very appreciative of his wonderful manners and behavior. We know many horses and know that what we enjoy most about this horse is due to his breeding. YOU make AWESOME horses at Walnut Creek Andalusians!!! Thank YOU!
Your horse breeding program stands alone as one of the best I have ever purchased a horse from!!! As you know, this isn't my first horse. He is however the best one I have ever owned and he isn't even 4! Everyone loves him!!! Truly special and I feel luck to own him"

Extremely rare dun1 palomino P.R.E. filly
(Rico MHF x Sentencia PI)
DOB March 30, 2015
This filly is everything a breeder dreams of producing. Not only is she drop-dead gorgeous, she has a presence about her that stops you in your tracks.
Very sweet in temperament, she still has a brio that makes her strut around the pasture like a super model.
No white markings except a small star, she is a rich shimmering gold with sooty highlights. Dorada has been color tested AaeeCrnggnd1/nd1. That means every foal she produces will carry this new gene that shows primitive marking stripes. It probably makes her one of the strikingly few P.R.E. horses in the world with this color combination. Should mature at 16 hands, she is strongly built and moves like a dream.
Pictures and words cannot capture her...you have to experience her in person. Champion renown bloodlines, 1/4 Guardiola and 1/4 Military, her pedigree reads like a whos-who of P.R.E. horses. With close to perfect conformation, it is all wrapped in a golden package. Just like her half brother Humoso, she also has a striped dun factor to top it off

Eve has been DNA tested aaEeCrNnd1/nd1gg. She is a smoky black (a black that carries the creme gene), she carries a chestnut gene, she is homozygous for the newly discovered nd1, or non-diluted dun gene, so she will pass her primitive markings to every offspring, and she will not gray.

"Hello Suzy!
I know you probably longing for news on all your babies, so I thought I'd send you a quick update! Valeroso is doing fabulous and he's so much fun! Once the local fair is over, I will start some more extensive ground work with him. He picks up things so easy though and is really a joy to work with! Even my farrier is impressed by him and how well he's standing to get his feet trimmed. He also took a few trips to the vet, and same there - my vet is so impressed (as well as grateful!) that he's so well behaved! Overall, he's a handsome and joyful guy to have around!!
Hugs from us both!

(Tuno PM x Sentencia PI)

Rare Smoky Black stud colt
Unique and rare colored stud colt with exceptional bloodlines, conformation, movement and temperament. Both sire and dam were imported and both over 16 hands so he should mature 16+. Sire is the imported Tuno PM who is a Carmello II direct son, bred by Paco Marti Dam is from Pique Angel and a direct daughter of Revoltoso XXIX (dam's photos on this website under the mare section and pictures of her sire, Humoso's maternal grandsire, are at the bottom of the dam's page) so this colt's grandparents are the best two Paco Marti stallions. His maternal granddam was branded from the Military stud and has Lebrijano III, Gorron, Agente and Maluso within 4 generations. He is DNA confirmed smokey black that will NOT gray with primitive dun markings in a beautiful iridescent mink chocolate color
Jazz is a gorgeous sooty solid buckskin PRE gelding.
Stunning movement correct conformation and a beautiful head and neck on him.
You have not seen pictures of video of him until now, his 3 year old year
because I was going to keep him for my personal riding horse.
However, he grew and grew and kept growing and just as he turned 3 years old, he sticked at 16 hands.
This means his mature height should be at least 16.2 and he may reach 17 hands.
He still is in that lanky growing stage.
Jazz, who is turning into a super star, I felt it would be a shame if I had kept him and not given him a chance to shine for someone.
I believe with his movement, height, elegant build, he could be a fantastic FEI prospect for the amateur or professional.
This proven cross always produces exceptional offspring.
You can see his many full siblings on this page.His pedigree is a who's who in the PRE world with 4 generations of National champions on his sire line, Navarre GF as a grandsire and a full Guardiola mare as his paternal granddam.
His dam was imported from the well-known Spanish breeder Pique Angel and is a daughter of the famous Revoltoso XIXX out of a military branded mare.
You won't find a better pedigree and it is all wrapped in dappled buckskin.
