Morning Classes – Horses under saddle or in-hand (youngsters welcome).

  • Marchador geldings – gait
  • Marchador mares – gait

Afternoon classes:  Horses in-hand:

  • Marchador geldings – conformation
  • Marchador mares – conformation

At this time, we have no plans for a stallion division, but can easily add one if you wish to participate with your Marchador stallion.

Depending on the horses entered, there may be 2 divisions in gait for marcha picada and marcha batida.

In Brazil, there are 5 judges in the arena.   The highest and lowest scores are discarded and the middle 3 are added together and averaged to come up with the winner of the event.    We will have 2 judges, plus the auditors to complete the scoring.   After each class, we will announce the results and the judges will go through their evaluation of the horses with why they scored them as they did and what attributes of each horse are the best.

Before or during the class, the judge may ask to ride each horse and/or help the rider with how to improve the gait of their horse.

Place:  OutWest Stallion Station
Address: 15419 E Rio Verde Dr, Scottsdale, AZ 85262

Invitation to Brazil – November 2016

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!

Brazilian Breeder Visit – Welcome Haras Avena!

A business and touring visit, Summerwind Marchadors and Future Foal breeders will present their Mangalarga Marchador horses during a traveling barn tour for Carlos Avena from Haras Avena, BR.

img_7420Summerwind and Future Foal plan to  import this stallion frozen semen in 2016/2017. For those breeders who want to love tobiano horses, we heard you!   More tobiano genetics are needed to cross with the few tobiano Marchadors here in the U.S.

We seek to  import frozen semen from superior and championship level Marchador stallion semen to build genetic diversity and improve future generations of Marchador horses here in North America.   All of our selected Marchador stallions are proven producers in Brazil.

The barn tours are open to the public!  Please come to meet a Marchador!

Here is the proposed schedule.  RSVP to 602-999-3915 to get more information, directions and updates if the schedule changes.

Shannon Ford Art Poster



Meet Shannon Ford (bio from her website)

Shannon Ford is a natural born artist and an animal lover since childhood, Shannon Ford was born in Regina Saskatchewan, totally enchanted by the natural world. She was raised on a farm west of Calgary where she grew up loving Art and knowing horses, cattle and wildlife.

Shannon paints in both her Studios in Alberta, and in BC where she and her sweetheart Denis breed Mangalarga Marchador horses.

Best known for her intuitive contemporary painting style and her use of her hand made precious and semiprecious gemstone powers, Shannon gives credit to her intuition, imagination and dreams in guiding her painting process.

Shannon’s collectors value most the unique way her paintings appear well drawn and technically accurate from a distance while being free flowing, naturally abstract and infused with multiple colours when viewed from close up.

She binds her love for sculpture and gemstones with her love for painting by incorporating her own handmade precious and semiprecious gemstone powders (and sometimes even cut gemstones and 24 Karat Gold or Palladium) to create paintings with a unique quality of surface, light and colour; capturing more deeply the true essence and beauty of the subject she is painting.

Breyerfest 2016 – A Showcase for the Marchador

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_nThe 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:

IMG_0854Everyone 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!
