fullsizeoutput_59b8Hawke do Summerwind x Gralha MUG.

Predicted to be a filly, but she is a he!   We got back just in time from Colorado to be there.   We are so delighted with our newest foal!   He has lots of prescence, very bold and confident little one!   I am always amazed that their personality is so apparent on day 1!  Very nice marcha, smooth and flashy with high knee action.

Truly one of a kind!  Kharisma do Summerwind is the chosen name!  Watch for him.

About his Parents:

Hawke do Summerwind, wonderful gait!
Hawke do Summerwind, wonderful gait!

Hawke do Summerwind is our junior stallion and this is his first foal crop in 2016.   A sweet and personable pocket pony, he is also wonderfully gaited. He is the product of imported Marchador mare, Azenha de Maripa and frozen semen from Brazilian stallion Ximoio de Maripa, a son of Abaiba Nissei.

One measure of greatness is Brasil’s ELITE book – a registry of National Champion Marchadors who also produced National Champions. Parents and grandparents that are ELITE champions matter the most.
