Quitadora II (EE AA CrCr)

    As a three year old in Spain

Sire: Virrey PM

Dam: Latina XXXIX

2015      Aztec Luz Dorada        perlino filly     by Baturro PM

2017      Aztec Imprevista         perlino filly     by Currante VI

Quitadora II is a rare perlino (double cream dilute) bred by Las Cadenas in Madrid in 2000. She was graded APTO in Spain in early 2014, gaining high marks for her exceptional movement.

She is by the Paco Marti stallion Virrey PM, (now exported to Nicaragua & by the most famous double dilute Spanish horse - Revoltoso XXIX) and her dam Latina XXXIX is by Clavijo, who I had the privilege to meet on my first visit to Las Cadenas last year. Latina is a granddaughter of the outstanding Bocado stallion Atlantico 1981 (by the great Revoltoso VIII).

She will always produce a buckskin when crossed with a bay, black or chestnut stallion.

 Estanquera A  (ee Crcr)

Sire: Claudio Vives

Dam: Perla XLII

 2017 Aztec Iconico cremello colt by Pomelo V

 2018 Naranjo chestnut colt by Pomelo V

 2019       Aztec Chillido         chestnut colt            by Pomelo V

A 15.3 APTO palomino PRE mare bred by Ganaderia Antares SL in 2010.

Jointly owned by us & Sue Taylor of Silverbrooke Andalusians.

Sue and I imported 'Esta' in 2016 and we couldn't be more delighted with her. Not only is she very beautiful, but she has an amazingly kind temperament and loves attention.

Her sire, Claudio Vives, is one of only thirty stallions to be chosen by Alvaro Domecq Romero to appear in his book, Historical and Current Stallions of the Purebred Spanish Horse. Esta also appears in the list of his progeny. Both his parents are from the famous Paco Marti stud, who are well known for producing quality dilute horses.

Her dam's lines are Terry, Osborne, Military, Baones and Boloix, amongst others, and contain many famous horses of the breed.

She has already bred two foals in Spain and has produced a spectacular cremello colt for us in 2017.

Sire: Olimpico XVI

Dam: Organza II

2004 grey PRE mare (imported from Spain)

Although pure Cartujano, Tuna was bred from both sides of her parents to produce dressage competing stock by her well known breeder Yeguada Aimaran. Her dam Organza II is by the multi-champion Calificado GP stallion Ingenioso XX

Bahia XXXI  (EE Aa CRcr)

Sire: Dulzon IX

Dam: Corilha

We were very excited about the addition of Bahia XXXI to the stud back in Nov 2008. She is a rare buckskin by the lovely baroque buckskin stallion, Dulzon IX and out of the black, mainly YM bred mare, Corilha

Dulzon IX was bred by the legendary Hnos Marti Verdi studfarm, and owned by one of the most prestigious PRE studfarms in Spain,  Yeguada Can Maynou (owners of Nero II, 3 times Campeon de la Raza of Spain & winners of Best Exhibitor at SICAB 2010). Dulzon?s sire is Carmelo II (Cartujano, Bohorquez, Militar) and his dam is Galera IV (Cardenas, Cartujano)

She has a delightful temperament coupled with a most incredible movement.

We have always been very interested in colour genetics so we?re looking forward to breeding with the cream gene. There are only a handful of PREs in the UK with the cream gene, and even less non-greying ones like Bahia so she is quite a rarity.

Buckskin is often incorrectly called dun. But it is actually a bay horse that carries one copy of the cream gene that dilutes the bay coat and makes a buckskin.

2019 Aztec Elegancia bay filly by Currante VI

Mariquita CR is our foundation mare. Both her parents have been very successful competition horses, which is unusual as very few PRE mares compete in ridden classes. Her dam Orgullosa (see photos below) is out of Supreme National Champion Revelacion and by Euclides, a most versatile stallion with many wins including side saddle, working hunter, showjumping & dressage.

Mariquita is by the jet black high school trained stallion, Churumbel II (see Espiritu's page for photo)

Churumbel II is by the famous Hosco of the renowned Terry Stud. His grandsire is the equally famous Descarado II. Hosca, the dam of Hosco, is by Bilbaino III, one of the most important stallions in the history of the breed.

Churumbel II is also a descendant of another excellent bloodline, D Fernando y D Miguel Baones.

He was 3 times ridden champion in the UK with numerous dressage wins here and abroad. He is a champion classical performance horse and has undertaken film, TV & display work.  He was the winner of the 1997 Ultimado II Progeny Award.

Aelis  (Ee AA CRcr Zz)

2008 15.3 silver buckskin PRE x Comtois (born in Spain & imported) 

2011           Aztec Cremoso                  buckskin colt        by Espiritu     

2012          Aztec Silverio                   bay silver colt      by Espiritu

2013          Aztec Amistosa                  bay filly              by Espiritu

2015          Aztec Amazona                  bay filly              by Espiritu

Aelis is an ultra rare silver buckskin, meaning she carries both the cream dilution and also the very rare silver dilution.

The cream gene has diluted what would have been a bay body colour and the silver gene has diluted it yet further, along with her mane and tail and lower legs.

She had to be DNA tested by UC Davis in the USA in order to establish her colour genetics, as she could easily be mistaken for a champagne or a cremello/perlino.

The silver gene is probably the most exotic and unique colour gene in the equine world and is much sought after.
