Nola do Summerwind make it over to the U.K. in February! Traveling via plane and then trailer, she is now in her new home with Nel Syed and Mark Curtis, the alpacas and the dogs.
It was hard to say goodbye and to think of the journey and the stress of it all, but what a happy ending! It all worked out wonderfully.
Nola is the daughter of Fole de Maripa x Gaia do Summerwind, bred using imported frozen semen from Brazil, born March 26, 2019.
Amy Star will be our instructor here in Scottsdale on selected Sundays to teach us the basics of dressage and ease of handling parts of working equitation.
Here are the dates:
Feb 9, Mar 8, Mar 29, Apr 12 and May 3.
Working Equitation is a fast-growing sport competition which accepts any breed, any style of tack and all levels of horses and riders.
The sport teaches a variety of skills and the horse and rider team are judged on the quality of movement and execution of the tasks. We are learning and growing with the horses.
Contact Lynn to join in.
Some photos below of the Agro Maripa horses in competition in Brazil, and us in class here in Scottsdale.
Summerwind added one new Mangalarga Marchador to our stallion barn in 2020, bringing our offering to 13 stallions!!!!
Atrevido do Porto Palmeira
Meet Atrevido do Porto Palmeira, descended from a number of Marchadors that I have loved over the years! He is the son of Extrato do Minatto, a super ELITE stallion x Tribuna do Porto Palmeiro, herself the daughter of super ELITE stallion Favacho Diamante. His sire Extrato do Minatto is the winner of 105 titles in the show ring, most recently as a champion producer. Atrevido has a super sweet temperament, great gait and a chance for tobiano babies! Atrevido’s foals are proving his genetics and so I have included them in Atrevido’s videos.
We also offer one cooled semen option with our own Jedi-Knight do Summerwind, also with great gait, great temperament and one tobiano gene. Jedi is the only breeding tobiano Marchador stallion in North America! His first foals are hitting the ground now! For more information, contact us!
Take a look at them all! And then start dreaming about the foal you could have in 2021! All 13 stallions are highlighted on our website page Stallions.
Summerwind and SW Future Foal offers champion and ELITE book stallions from Brazil and the US who have themselves won in the show ring or the sports arena and whose offspring are now proving themselves. Genetics matter! Expect to be impressed!
