Invitation to Brazil – November 2016

October 27, 2016 summerwind

From Laura Patterson Rosa:

Hi everyone!

I created a FB event to inform anyone who’s interested in going to Brazil and watching the Brazilian Picada Championship. This year, the Championship will take place at my home town in Brazil – Salvador, Bahia – a beautiful historical city, the first capital of Brazil.

It is a great chance to also visit some really good breeders in Bahia, see the best Picada horses in the country and, as the show will take place at the same time as the Fenagro (a regional agricultural fair) see other livestock as well as Campolinas, Pega Donkeys, Mules… 🙂

Also, the beautiful Brazilian beaches are right there – it’s a visit you will enjoy to the fullest.

Victor and I will also be there! Let’s use this event on Facebook to try to organize the trip, if anyone is interested, I hope you will join me there!

Welcome Future Foal @ Silver Stables!

October 14, 2016 summerwind

Our newest “Future Foal do Summerwind” breeders are Elizabeth and D.J. Sims of Phoenix AZ. They own and operate Silver Stables which focuses on training and lessons for children. Their program teaches students how to be all-around hors A photo of an woman riding english on her horse. emen in a fun, friendly, safe and affordable environment. And now they are Marchador breeders as well!

Elizabeth and D.J. met the Marchador breed during an equine class assignment at Scottsdale Community College. It took very little time after that visit for them to jump into the action as they reserved Isabelle do Great Lakes Future Foal about a month later. That foal became the now-famous tobiano stud colt Jedi-Knight do Summerwind, born October 2015.

D.J. co-owns Gralha M.U.G., exquisite imported Marchador mare (shown above in the photos). In 2015, we bred Gralha with Hawke do Summerwind and they will own the resulting October 2016 foal. So they are growing fast!

Elizabeth and D.J. plan to keep Jedi-Knight do Summerwind a stallion and so, he will be standing at stud starting in 2019. Right now he is the only tobiano Marchador stallion in the U.S.! And the grandson of Palhaco de Itatuvera, one of the most influential stallions in the Marchador breed today in Brazil.

At Silver Stables is also another Marchador gelding being used in their lesson program – our wonderful and sweet Seamus da Boa Fe. We miss him every day, but think this is a good life for him with all of the kids and attention. I truly believe that he loves being painted at summer camp!

Sliver Stables is open as another place to “MEET A MARCHADOR” here in AZ. Please visit Silver Stables on-line or on FB for more information about their facility and offerings!

About his Parents:

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.

Elite Book Horses in Hawke’s pedigree:

Laio de Maripa (sire) 2 x
Rima Apogeu (grandsire) 2 x
Abaiba Gim 2 x
Abaiba Reserva 2 x
Festa A.J. (granddam) 2 x
Providencia Regente 2 x
Providencia Tiroleza 2 x

Gralha M.U.G. Imported from Brazil with a star-studded pedigree. A sweet mare, with a ground covering, show quality gait.

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. There are actually 2 ELITE books. MM7 has about 700 horses of distinction. MM8 (the SPECIAL ELITE book) has only 67 horses. Horses who are in MM8 are also in MM7.

Enigma Scala SIRE (MM8 ELITE book – only 1 of 67 horses in this book)

Breyerfest 2016 – A Showcase for the Marchador

July 31, 2016 summerwind

Breyerfest featured the Mangalarga Marchador as their Celebration Horse and 2016 Model. There were three Marchadors there at the show that posed for pictures and showed in the arena once a day.
12249936_591971574277292_467096977548418580_n The USMMA represented our breed and our breeders at a booth during this July Event. Our booth was manned by Lynn Kelley, Victor Rosa, Sandy Hull and Rick Schatz. Rick drove all the booth materials fro m the Las Vegas PBR booth to Kentucky along with materials sent to him by other breeders and owners. The USMMA volunteers came at their own expense and worked Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Thank you!
Represented in the booth were: The USMMA, Marchador Association, Canadian Marchadores, Flying Oaks Ranch, Future Foal, HH Sensing, Marchadors InMotion, Rancho de los Cielos, Saint Horse Marchadores, Summerwind Marchadors.

We had giveaways – old calendars, pens, Shannon Ford Art postcards and magazines. That was in addition to the business cards and brochures. We also had larger prizes for a donation to the USMMA.
• Breeding from Saint Horse Marchadores• Canvas horse photo from Summerwind• Apple Watch from Summerwind
• Clothing from Saint Horse and Summerwind (5 items) • Marchador Book from Future Foal breeders
• Art Poster from Shannon Ford, Canadian Marchadores

The festival was very well attended.

Pluses:

Everyone knew about the breed
The MM celebration model was a big success
People who stopped in the booth were interested in the MM breed and some were looking to buy a horse so it was opportune that now they have another breed to consider.
The MM BOOK was the big hit. Many people offered to pay the $100 for it, but we imported the last 4 copies of it. 2nd printing is planned.
The USMMA brochure was a big hit – we only printed the inside page – the FAQs about the breed.
We have pens, brochures and postcards left over for the next event.

The Kentucky Horse Park is a venue where people expect to see many breeds. The Breyerfest horse show was all three days and presented Morgans, Friesians, Miniature Horses, QHs, Arabians, Standardbreds, Gypsy Vanners, Single Footer, Rocky Mountain Horses, Tennessee Walking Horses, Shires and more. (Of course, a Marchador too) We have an opportunity if we decide to return to show Marchador horses in the ring next year – both versatility and perhaps a demo with costumes and excitement!

Great show everyone!
