2017 Import Dreams

December 27, 2016 summerwind

2017 import dreams – they would make for a Happy New Year!

We love the stallions in our frozen sperm bank – stallion in a box we call them! They are producing quality foals with gait, beauty, and temperament. Agro Maripa is one of the foundations for our breeding program.

But, we have always said one of our goals was to add new bloodlines to increase and improve the genetic diversity here in North America. Only about 70 horses were imported from Brazil to North America. We need new blood to continue to grow the Mangalarga Marchador breed here.

ximoio2 With our semen importation program, we have imported 5 stallions frozen semen. They are producing great foals – Arun de Maripa, Fole de Maripa, Oma de Maripa, Talisma Kafe and Ximoio de Maripa. In addition, we have our SW stallions here: La Paz Jivago and Hawke do Summerwind (pure Maripa). You can also check out their offspring if you click on the links for the stallions.

In 2017, we hope to add another 5 more to the breeding choices.

For the Bahia stallions, it’s been almost 5 years in the making. Fingers crossed that we will be successful! More details, photos and videos after we get the shipment here.

Jedi-Knight born October 11!

October 12, 2015 summerwind

We had a big crowd welcoming Jedi-Knight into the world on Sunday night! At least 10 people hanging over the stall!

Maiden mare Isabelle do Great Lakes was superb! What a good mother she is! Nicknamed Izzy, she is owned by Karen Ann Livesay, Future Foal @ Sedona. And the surprise package is a pinto colt! He is reserved by Elizabeth and D.J. Sims also in AZ, who will become Marchador breeders! The whole atmosphere was charged with excitement and awe.

Jedi’s sire is Brazilian Marchador stallion Talisma Kafe, a black and white pinto, using imported frozen semen.

Here are some photos of Jedi’s first night. Watch for new posts! He is a cutie!

Breaking new ground

September 30, 2015 summerwind

New investors in the Mangalarga Marchador breed, partner with Summerwind Marchadors to create new investment ideas and opportunities.

“In the past, investing in the breed meant investing in a horse. With Jack and Phyllis, we pushed into new ground. Their investment goals did not include a Marchador horse directly, investing instead in the Summerwind frozen semen bank created from Brazilian Marchador stallions (6 so far) and in new developments being planned.”

Since that initial investment, a year later, they also bought their own Marchador – Fidalgo do Summerwind.

Meet Phyllis and Jack!

Phyllis J. Ley – Born in San Francisco, has lived in California, Oregon, Washington, Montana and Arizona. She is a retired Registered Dental Hygienist with over 25 years culminating in Coronado, CA at Naval Amphibious Base. Phyllis loves the outdoors, landscape design, and collecting carousel horses. She’s been interested in horses and horse lover all her life, owning them in Washington and Montana before Arizona. In 2011, they moved to Arizona, bringing her Quarter Horse and two new Arabians. Her only horse now is 3 year-old Arabian Gelding training in Paulden, AZ with Ned Leigh. Her keen interest in Mangalarga Marchadors began when she saw a ground-training clinic for Marchadors at Ned Leigh’s Equine Focus in Paulden. Then when visiting Summerwind Marchadors, Inc in Pagosa Springs, CO she rode two of them – and really fell in love with these gentle, smooth-gaited horses! Now she is an Investor in Summerwind and wants to help ensure the breed has consistent, top-quality management while broadening her knowledge and understanding of the Mangalarga Marchador.

Jack R. Shriber – Born in Ogden, Utah and has lived all over the U S and in Europe, having retired from the U S Air Force with 28 year’s service responsible for Telecommunications Management. He became interested in horses when he and Phyllis lived in Montana and they bought a Quarter Horse there. Having observed the Marchador horse at both Scottsdale and Pagosa Springs ranches, he is also now truly interested in furthering the best development of Mangalarga Marchador expansion and growth in the U S through supporting Summerwind in Scottsdale and Pagosa Springs.

Jack and Phyllis join the family of Summerwind and Future Foal in setting a new direction and energy in Summerwind Marchadors. They are excited to be part of the Marchador playbook and history.
