Summer Camp in PAGOSA SPRINGS!

Summerwind Marchadors and Silver Stables teamed up to offer a July 4th weekend camp to young riding students of Silver Stables. What fun!   We were happy we did this!

The girls had fun with many activities around town over the fourth – like the fireworks, the parade and the rodeo.   During the day, they rode Marchador horses!   We offered them many horses and matched horses to riders during the first day.   In the program were seven Marchador horses:  Artemis do Summerwind, Brasilia do Summerwind, Caboclo da Piedade, Caesar do Summerwind, Fidalgo do Summerwind, Jorge-Ben de Lazy T and Koyote Libertas.   

Great riders! Great horses! They did arena work, outside course work, and trail riding, including the grand finale, a bareback trail ride.   Great guests too – all staying in our barn apartment, like a giant sleepover.    

We think we will offer this again!   Our horses were never so well-groomed, lol.

Nobre do Summerwind is born!

Third N Summerwind foal and he is a charm! Born Friday, June 14, 2019! Named Nobre do Summerwind which means noble, he looks like he will grow into his name. He is the son of La Paz Jivago x Cassandra do MManor, born to SW breeder Cathy Pierce in Corpus Christi, TX.

Congratulations to Cathy, and to new owners Elizabeth Sims of Silver Stables and Randy Gassett, both from AZ.

Imported sire La Paz Jivago, has sired foals in Brazil, the US and Canada. He is the son of ELITE 8 stallion Ideal Tabatinga x ELITE 7 mare Favacho Bulgaria (daughter of Tabatinga Senegal x Favacho Sina). Dam Cassandra do MManor is the daughter of 2 imported Marchadors known for producing beautiful foals with great temperament and gait – Frevo da Camaq x Ibiza da Boa Fe.

Already we love this little one. Color may display as grulla, as he is homozygous black with homozygous nd/1 – primitive markings. Summerwind does complete DNA panels on all their foals.

Other N babies so far – Nola do Summerwind (Fole de Maripa x Gaia do Summerwind ; Nandor do Summerwind (Arun de Maripa x Isabelle do Great Lakes.

Nandor is here!

Nandor, the Marchador, was born on April 24, 2019, to MM owners and SW breeders Karen Ann Livesay and Randy Conilogue. He is the son of Arun de Maripa x Isabelle do Great Lakes.

Nandor do Summerwind is the second N foal born this year. One more is expected in June in Texas.

He is a delightful foal, easygoing and friendly as you can see from the photos.

Our thanks to Agro Maripa for sharing their high quality, proven stallions with us using imported frozen semen.

Gaia’s foal is born!

Born March 26, 2019 to Gaia do Summerwind, a black filly (probably will be grey).

The sire is Fole de Maripa, using imported frozen semen from Agro Maripa, Brazil. Gaia is the first Marchador foal born in the US using imported frozen semen. Gaia’s sire was Oma de Maripa, also from Agro Maripa. This foal marks the fourth generation for Summerwind Marchadors following the mare’s line: Brisa Libertas (imported), Brasilia do Summerwind, Gaia do Summerwind and now her new filly!

Congratulations to Adrienne C. Scheck, owner of Gaia do Summerwind and to Nel Syed and Mark, owners of the new foal. This foal will be going to ENGLAND! where we think it will be the first Marchador in that country.

The added bonus is that the filly was born on Adrienne’s birthday – what a gift!
