Hawke do Summerwind Arrives!

The long-awaited foal of Azenha de Maripa x Ximoio de Maripa showed up early Sunday night, February 17th.   This is Ximoio de Maripa’s first foal in the U.S., born using his imported frozen semen.   Both Azenha and Ximoio were bred by Agro Maripa, Brazil.

We could not be happier with him.  He’s friendly, confident and showing wonderful gait and temperament of the Mangalarga Marchador breed!   Born chocolate (milk and dark), we think he will shed to black, but may eventually be grey like his sire.

He was code named Hermes, but after he was born, we decided to select a different name.  When hawk feathers were found in his stall, we knew we had picked the right one!

Take a look for yourself!

SW Update – Gaia do Summerwind!

Leave a comment

Gaia made history at 11:00 p.m.October 27, 2012, becoming the first MM foal born in the US using imported frozen semen from Brasil. A labor of love, our dream was realized when Agro Maripá collected and exported the first frozen MM semen from 3 of his stallions in Brasil.  Our continued thanks to Agro Maripa!

Gaia is the product of Oma de Maripa and Brasilia do Summerwind.  She was reserved by Dr. Adrienne C. Scheck of Scottsdale AZ and with SW Future Foal retaining breeding rights to her to ensure her genetics are carried forward in the U.S.

All of us are thrilled with her!!!!!

Her name Gaia was selected by Adrienne for a number of reasons.   Gaia (“guy-a”) is the goddess or personification of Earth or Mother Earth (the Greek common noun for “land” is ge or ga) in pre-Olympian Greek mythology.  The Gaia hypothesis proposes that organisms interact with their inorganic surroundings on Earth to form a self-regulating, complex system that contributes to maintaining the conditions for life on the planet.
