Summer Camp in PAGOSA SPRINGS!

Summerwind Marchadors and Silver Stables teamed up to offer a July 4th weekend camp to young riding students of Silver Stables. What fun!   We were happy we did this!

The girls had fun with many activities around town over the fourth – like the fireworks, the parade and the rodeo.   During the day, they rode Marchador horses!   We offered them many horses and matched horses to riders during the first day.   In the program were seven Marchador horses:  Artemis do Summerwind, Brasilia do Summerwind, Caboclo da Piedade, Caesar do Summerwind, Fidalgo do Summerwind, Jorge-Ben de Lazy T and Koyote Libertas.   

Great riders! Great horses! They did arena work, outside course work, and trail riding, including the grand finale, a bareback trail ride.   Great guests too – all staying in our barn apartment, like a giant sleepover.    

We think we will offer this again!   Our horses were never so well-groomed, lol.

Welcome to the World – Leia do Summerwind!

Born April 1st, 2017, the much awaited and anticipated foal of Arun de Maripa x Azenha de Maripa, arrived.   And it’s a GIRL!  LEIA!   We are overjoyed!

A beautiful and correct filly, she is a pure Maripa, a bloodline is a mix of Abaiba, Bela Cruz and Herdade.   In the sire,  Arun de Maripa is also added Favacho and Tabatinga blood from his ELITE sire Favacho Diamante.  It is a wonderful blend!

Named Leia do Summerwind by the Future Foal breeders, Elizabeth and DJ Sims of Silver Stables Marchadors in Phoenix AZ.    They also own Jedi-Knight do Summerwind and now Leia, along with Gralha M.U.G.,  provide them the foundation for their breeding program and she stays part of the FUTURE FOAL network.

Arun de Maripa (imported frozen semen)  has sired one other filly in CA named Gemini do Dreamcatcher.

Azenha de Maripa has produced 4 offspring – in Canada, Beethoven do Summerwind (x La Paz Jivago), in AZ, Hawke do Summewind ( x Ximoio de Maripa),  in UT, Hemingway do Summerwind  (x La Paz Jivago) and now in AZ,  Leia do Summerwind (x Arun de Maripa.

Welcome Future Foal @ Silver Stables!

Photo Shoot Sunday with Jess Lee! Gralha MUG with Elizabeth Sims!

Our newest “Future Foal do Summerwind” breeders are Elizabeth and D.J. Sims of Phoenix AZ.  They own and operate Silver Stables which focuses on training and lessons for children.   Their program teaches students how to be all-around horsA photo of an woman riding english on her horse.emen in a fun, friendly, safe and affordable environment.   And now they are Marchador breeders as well!

Elizabeth and D.J. met the Marchador breed during an equine class assignment at Scottsdale Community College.  It took very little time after that visit for them to jump into the action as they reserved Isabelle do Great Lakes Future Foal about a month later.   That foal became the now-famous tobiano stud colt Jedi-Knight do Summerwind, born October 2015.

D.J. co-owns Gralha M.U.G., exquisite imported Marchador mare (shown above in the photos).   In 2015, we bred Gralha with Hawke do Summerwind and they will own the resulting October 2016 foal.  So they are growing fast!

Elizabeth and D.J. plan to keep Jedi-Knight do Summerwind a stallion and so, he will be standing at stud starting in 2019.   Right now he is the only tobiano Marchador stallion in the U.S.!  And the grandson of Palhaco de Itatuvera, one of the most influential stallions in the Marchador breed today in Brazil.

At Silver Stables is also another Marchador gelding being used in their lesson program – our wonderful and sweet Seamus da Boa Fe.   We miss him every day, but think this is a good life for him with all of the kids and attention.   I truly believe that he loves being painted at summer camp!

Sliver Stables is open as another place to “MEET A MARCHADOR” here in AZ.    Please visit Silver Stables on-line or on FB for more information about their facility and offerings!
