Visit from Canada! Laurie on Koyote Libertas!

We are pleased and excited to welcome a new addition to the SW Future Foal network!

We were very happy when Laurie and Don Klassen purchased Joia Norte, a buckskin Marchador mare and then approached us to be SW Future Foal @ Casa Rio.

SW Future Foal now operates in AZ, CO, NC (SW Future Foal @ LumberBridge) and in Saskatchewan, CANADA!

You can expect to have the same great service, the same attention to unique genetic bloodlines and the same foal care and natural horse care and handling at all three facilities – SW FUTURE FOAL @ Summerwind, @LumberBridge and @CasaRio!    Laurie will also act as our frozen semen distributor for Canada.    Please welcome Laurie Klassen via email or phone.     306-382-8219, lauriefklassen@me.com

I live on a acreage in Casa Rio ( Saskatoon)  Saskatchewan Canada and own 1 Marchador gelding  Beethoven and 1 Marchador filly Joia Norte acquired through Summerwind Marchadors.

I have been very active in my community promoting the MM breed for the last 4 years. Currently I am involved in Working Equitation ,Garrocha and Ultimate Cowboy Challenge which is a natural fit for the Iberian type horse. I and my husband enjoy horse camping. Our goal has been to explore Saskatchewan from the back of a horse. 

 I have been raising and training Tennessee Walking horses for the last 11 yrs ,thus am quite knowledgeable about gaited horses. I have shut my TWH breeding business down some 3 yrs ago ,but still own and train 3 TWH.

I am very involved in the equine community where I live and even farther afield.  I have been very active in a women’s only horse club (85 members) for the last 5 years, serving as President in 2012.

I am actively involved in the NA Marchador Association and the M Foundation. 

2-3 times yearly I host clinics and bring in some Master horseman to our area to promote responsible leadership and training for our horses. My passion is education in the Equine Industry. Knowledge is essential in being a successful owner/breeder.

 I and my husband have owned and operated Crestview Auto Service for 30 years. Complete automotive service for all makes and models.   

Please join us at SW@Casa Rio for a taste of the wonderful Marchador breed.

Marchador Saddle Pad

The Horseshoe M brand is the recognized symbol for the Mangalarga Marchador world-wide.   The brand is applied by the ABCCMM (Brazilian association) on all Marchadors that pass inspection.

 

 

 

Dana of Nicker’s Saddlery is making a new saddle pad with the Marchador M brand logo prominently, yet elegantly displayed.

The Marchador Saddle Pad will be made similar. This is the FIRST prototype! Since then, we have rounded the swallow-tail edge.

 

The pad has a core of waffle weave material. The pad construction is very breathable and high quality materials, suitable for any saddle, including treeless.    There is a zipper  in a strategically placed location  to allow shims if needed.  The wear guard is synthetic, so it washes well.

Saddle pads will come in a choice of colors eventually.   However, this early in production, we are offering just black and white.  The M brand logo will be in the traditional RE

Pre-order yours today!   Pricing will be right around $200.
