Hermes do Summerwind – Call Today!

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)
  • Sweet, submissive, willing personality
  • Grey

  • 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

SW Update – Gaia do Summerwind!

Leave a comment

Gaia made history at 11:00 p.m.October 27, 2012, becoming the first MM foal born in the US using imported frozen semen from Brasil. A labor of love, our dream was realized when Agro Maripá collected and exported the first frozen MM semen from 3 of his stallions in Brasil.  Our continued thanks to Agro Maripa!

Gaia is the product of Oma de Maripa and Brasilia do Summerwind.  She was reserved by Dr. Adrienne C. Scheck of Scottsdale AZ and with SW Future Foal retaining breeding rights to her to ensure her genetics are carried forward in the U.S.

All of us are thrilled with her!!!!!

Her name Gaia was selected by Adrienne for a number of reasons.   Gaia (“guy-a”) is the goddess or personification of Earth or Mother Earth (the Greek common noun for “land” is ge or ga) in pre-Olympian Greek mythology.  The Gaia hypothesis proposes that organisms interact with their inorganic surroundings on Earth to form a self-regulating, complex system that contributes to maintaining the conditions for life on the planet.

SW Update – Congratulations to New Marchador Owners!

Leave a comment

Congratulations to new owners of Mangalarga Marchadors here in the Southwest!  All great horse homes!

La Paz Jivago, 24k metallic dunskin, imported to the USValarie Giacalone, UT has purchased an SW Future Foal frozen embryo from Azenha de Maripa x La Paz Jivago (pictured left).  She made history when it took!  This will be the first Marchador foal produced from a frozen embryo in the U.S.!  It will be born in May 2013.  If it is a filly, the mare will be named Harlequin do Summerwind and if it’s a male, Hemingway do Summerwind.  Both Valarie and son Chris traveled here to Colorado (in August, after the breeding) to meet and ride the Marchadors and this is what Valarie wrote: If anyone was wondering, these horses are so much more magnificient in person than in their wonderful pictures! They could not be more perfect, and Chris and I are thrilled beyond words to be part of this family!

 

Debra Rowley, Dallas TX has purchased Flying Oaks Pegasus.   In a joint effort between Flying Oaks Ranch and SW Future Foal, the copper-bay gelding was sent to Ned Leigh of Ned Leigh Equine Focus, my equine transporter and horse trainer extraordinaire.   After she lost her mare,  Debra has been searching for a versatile horse that she can depend on and thinks Pegasus will be that guy.   Pegasus is a 3 year old, but has been climbing the ladder of experience with Ned to do long rides, water crossings, lateral work and will continue on with Ned with some specifics from Debra before heading to TX.   Ned says he is so light that he is a joy to ride.  Great gait too!

 

Oma de Maripa

Adrienne Scheck, Scottsdale AZ has reserved the Future Foal of Brasilia do Summerwind and Oma de Maripa!   Anyone who has met these 2 parents knows what a special horse this will be!   We couldn’t be more excited.  Expected late October or early November, code-named  Genghis-Khan do Summerind  (Adrienne has not picked new names), he/she will be a Mangalarga Marchador!   Power!  With a smooth and cadenced marcha batida gait, it will be a horse that can perform well at any discipline.  And Beautiful!   The first OMA foal in the U.S.!  SW has retained the breeding rights for the future, whether the foal be male or female, so it will be a shared day of joy for all of us!

SW Update – Future Foal Semen Bank

Leave a comment

2012 — Three stallions!  Three great choices!

We’ve met our goal!   We wanted to create a frozen semen bank of superior Mangalarga Marchador stallions from Brasil.    We felt that this would be good for the genetic diversity of the Marchador breed here in North America and also could help us to keep or improve our breed quality.   Many of these superior stallions would never have been sold, but we can get access to their semen through modern reproductive technology!

If you have never used frozen semen, please contact us to learn more.  We’d be happy to help you find a breeding vet in your area and  see if your mare is a good candidate for using frozen semen.   Success rates are often just as high as any AI using cooled semen.

Here is our offering!   Frozen semen only.

 

 

Oma de Maripa, quite possibly the most beautiful Marchador. Owned by Agro Maripa Intl, SW has frozen semen.

Oma de Maripa

  • $1000     One insemination dose of frozen semen, no guarantee.  Second dose $500 if 1st dose is not successful, or if vet wants to use the 2 dose insemination system.   Buyer pays shipping container costs both ways.
  • $1500 + $     Live Foal Guarantee option.  Two insemination doses of Oma’s frozen semen.    If frozen semen fails to produce a pregnancy, a breeding to an ABCCMM registered, imported Marchador stallion in the US via cooled semen provides the guarantee.  Buyer pays shipping costs for containers and collection costs for cooled semen.

 

Ximoio de Maripa, pure Abaiba bloodlines

Ximoio de Maripa

  • $1000     One insemination dose of frozen semen, no guarantee. Second dose $500 if 1st dose is not successful, or if vet wants to use the 2 dose insemination system.
