Brasilian Saddle Horse

There is a promotional campaign running during the FIFA and WORLD CUP in Brasil for their horses.  Designed to introduce their horses to the international community, the promotion is called the BRASILIAN SADDLE HORSE!

Horse Illustrated will be featuring the Marchador next year based on this initiative.

The Marchador is one of the breeds that is being featured as The Brasilian Saddle Horse, but there are others, including one that shares the same root, the Mangalarga (Paulista).

To read more about the 2 breeds and their split, here is a Summerwind Newsletter from the past!  SEPTEMBER 2011

SW Update – 2011 SW Award winners

The SW Award Program recognizes your efforts to promote the awesome Marchador breed using a SW Marchador (bred, sold or imported).   Getting our Marchadors in the spotlight – out into national or local all-breed events is not only fun, it helps others to see the quality, versatility and performance of the breed.   Any horse purchased from Summerwind, their foals or the product of a breeding from or to a Summerwind horse is eligible.
We couldn’t be happier that this year’s big winner was Laurie Klassen and Beethoven do Summerwind.  Read their story and you will agree!

Laurie and Beethoven - blue ribbon winners!
In addition, we participated in many trail rides, horse camping, ground and water training. (I believe he will need the services of a psychologist to totally rise above his waterphobia 🙂 )  We also logged many miles endurance training.   (Beethoven has a strong opinion about endurance…boring! ) Lastly, I started him on cattle before winter came.
