Atriz and Brisa Return

Congratulations to Bill and Carmen Leatherwood with their latest purchase of 2 wonderful and sweet Marchador horses for themselves and to share with their entire family.

We purchased these 2 mares in Brazil over 10 years ago and recently re-purchased them as they approached their golden years.   However, their stay with us will only be a few months now, until their family picks them up in June to take them to their new Colorado home.

Brisa Libertas
Brisa Libertas

Brisa Libertas, imported by Summerwind in 2004 is a smaller but solid as a rock, bay roan mare, now 20 years of age.

Brisa is the daughter of ELITE Brazilian stallion Dominio da Joatinga and mother of our Summerwind Marchadors Koyote Libertas, Brasilia do Summerwind and Isabelle do Great Lakes.

Brisa’s breeder in Brazil is now breeding and winning at the national level under a new farm name, Capim Fino (fine grass).

Atriz de Itajoana was also imported the same year.   Atriz had 2 foals while in Michigan: Agustos do Great Lakes (x Caboclo da Piedade) and Samuel do Great Lakes (x Oxum do Vale da Prata).  Both are now geldings and remain in Michigan.

Atriz is the daughter of ELITE Brazilian Icaro de Itajoana.  She was born in 2000 and imported as a three year old from Fazenda Santarem.

Fole de Maripa

Expected before year-end are 2 sons of Favacho Diamante, Fole de Maripa and Arun de Maripa and senior stallion Stradivarius HO.  On our travels to Brasil, we have met and often rode all of these stallions, including the sire Favacho Diamante.

Favacho Diamante is an Elite Stallion and sire of many National Champions in Brazil.   His Favacho and Tabatinga bloodlines were crossed with the great Maripa bloodlines that are so famous for beauty, conformation and temperament.

Oma de Maripa and Arun de Maripa

Agro Maripa has been breeding Marchador horses for over 35 years.  His genetics are pure and traceable back to the 1800s.   His horses are top drawer, consistent and proven.   We admire Agro Maripa’s dedication (similar to  Raul Junquiera of  Tabatinga) to evaluate each horse for riding and for production.   His love, care and training of his animals is seen and admired by all.  For us, he provides a complete picture of horse partnership and a passionate promoter of the Marchador breed around the world.  To see more of Agro Maripa, here is his website  http://www.agromaripa.com.br

Carioca de Maripa is a son of Oma de Maripa (we have Oma’s semen too).  Carioca has been proving himself in performance classes and calvagadas in Brazil.   Great conformation and body, a younger version of Oma.

We will be adding new pages for each stallion with more information, photos and videos.  Check back soon.

Please contact us to reserve your breeding today either with these new stallions or our old favorites: Oma de Maripa, Ximoio de Maripa, La Paz Jivago and Talisma Kafe.

Remember frozen semen lasts forever.  Store some for future breedings!
