Hawke do Summerwind during a training session. I love this guy!

Leticia on Bossa Nova de Miami out on the trail.

Still warm enough to wash horses after the ride!

Off the ranch for a trip back East. John at his alma mater, Boston College.

Leticia training Guinness in the pen. We have graduated to the big arena!

Cachaca now has a page on our website and we’ve added a new location – Brazil!

Marchador ears (Caboclo?) in the setting sun.

Izzy! Such a beautiful mare! Izzy moved into the breeding barn under lights this month.

Azenha de Maripa, Marchador mare, in the AZ setting sun.

Hawke do Summerwind, a beauty! Not yet 2, our stud colt.

Oma de Maripa has foals here in the US and we have more frozen semen to create again.

John helps Leticia get the stirrups right. Leticia and I ride the same length – great to switch horses and saddles.

Isabelle do Great Lakes, a daughter of Brisa Libertas (like Koyote and Brasilia).

Carioca de Maripa, frozen semen available

Gaia do Summerwind on a trail walk with Sandy and Leticia riding their horses.

Traditional Brazilian food again here in AZ with friends!

All about what we are up to!

French pastries – we did eat well in France!

The World Equestrian Games was our excuse to go to France. This is my sister Katie.

Avaranches, with Mont St. Michele in the distance.

Seamus – so relaxing to look at this picture!

New stall signs were laminated and installed.

In August, really? Hail sticking to the ground during a storm

Guinness, owned by Bill and Carmen, is feeling at home now.

Autumn is coming! Purple coneflowers in Pagosa Springs.

Spectacular Pagosa Springs – the sky is so blue!

Cathy Pierce gave us some photos for our website. Here is her colt, the first foal of Talisma Kafe – so cute!

We said goodbye to Seamus and Gus, going back to Kristy in AZ

More progress on importing frozen semen! This is one of the stallions, Arun de Maripa

Arun is Coming! Arun is Coming!

August 3, 2014 summerwind

SW Future Foal is arranging for shipment of frozen semen of 3 new Maripa stallions and Arun de Maripa is one of them!

10154474_608450735899011_1101664753088131715_n — 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.

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!
