The long-awaited foal of Azenha de Maripa x Ximoio de Maripa showed up early Sunday night, February 17th. This is Ximoio de Maripa’s first foal in the U.S., born using his imported frozen semen. Both Azenha and Ximoio were bred by Agro Maripa, Brazil.
We could not be happier with him. He’s friendly, confident and showing wonderful gait and temperament of the Mangalarga Marchador breed! Born chocolate (milk and dark), we think he will shed to black, but may eventually be grey like his sire.
He was code named Hermes, but after he was born, we decided to select a different name. When hawk feathers were found in his stall, we knew we had picked the right one!
SW Awards recognize your efforts to promote this awesome Marchador breed using a Summerwind Marchador (bred, sold or imported). Getting our horses out into the limelight in national or local all-breed events is not only fun, it helps others to see the quality, versatility and performance of the MM breed. Any horse purchased from Summerwind, their foals or the product of a breeding from or to a Summerwind horse is eligible.

Hermes do Summerwind(code name, you would get to name the foal if you decide to reserve it.) Due February 2013 in Arizona.
The product of Azenha de Maripa, imported MM mare and Ximoio de Maripa, still in Brasil. (click on their names to see their pages) This will be Ximoio’s first foal in the U.S.! The Marchador world will be watching this one – around the world.
This will be our sport horse Marchador foal in the true tradition of Agro Maripa! Ground covering marcha batida! Add the bonus of the most beautiful features in the head and neck. Almost pure Abaiba bloodlines, this foal will be the one that people will stop to watch. Before it is born, I am predicting it may be the most beautiful Marchador in America.
We believe there is no better way to create your next life partner than to raise it from birth. The bonding, training and fun are priceless!We specialize in genetics and proven producers.
Reserve Hermes for $15,000 or reserve the foal in condominium with SW Future Foal for $10,000. We are interested in future foals or breeding rights in exchange for the reduction in price. We offer payment plans too – we are interested in great, forever homes who want to be part of Marchador history!
Photos and Videos are of the parents, but here is what we expect from the pairing:
Beauty and elegance beyond compare, a presence – noticed wherever you go.
Very type-y head with large eyes, tipped in Marchador ears, silky mane.
Energy, athleticism and conformation that supports a performance sport like endurance, jumping, working equitation, or western dressage.
Expressive in movement, pure marcha batida (diagonal)

A carbon copy of Tigre do Summerwind? This 2013 foal should be extra special! The first foal of the SW Future Foal @ LumberBridge NC facility, it will be born in March! If you are on the east coast, transportation is very affordable, and we always offer payment plans.
Bella (Elba Cruzalta) is an imported mare of the highest quality who never takes a step that isn’t a smooth marcha picada! La Paz Jivago represents his Favacho/Tabatinga bloodlines well with solid bone, conformation and athleticism. Did we mention he’s a drop-dead gorgeous metallic dun stallion?
We believe there is no better way to create your next life partner than to raise it from birth. The bonding, training and fun are priceless!We specialize in genetics and proven producers. “When you plant potatoes, you get potatoes”. Our Mangalarga Marchador foals are predictable and guaranteed!
You won’t go wrong with this foal! We guarantee it! Photos and videos are of Tigre do Summerwind who is a great indicator of what to expect! Here’s our predictions of what the foal will be like at maturity:
Marcha picada or marcha de centro – very smooth
Big bodied and solid, A1 conformation, legs and feet, suitable for breeding or pleasure riding
Beautiful head with teacup muzzle, fine silky mane (not thick iberian), large eyes, MM ears
15H
Born dun or chestnut, but may grey. (We thought Tigre would grey, but he hasn’t yet at 2 years old)
Pleasing personality, very smart, but fun with a high play drive
