Our Stallion Faralay II

We are thrilled to announce the arrival of Faralay II, the only breeding son of Ebanisto in the U.S. Faralay was bred by Villa Mazzara in Barcelona, Spain, a small farm producing exquisite PRE's for the sport of Dressage. Faralay stands 16'2hh as a 4 year old and he has tremendous bone, a lovely temperament, and powerful, straight, uphill movement with impulsion and cadence to spare.

His pedigree reveals his strong Escalera and Guardiola bloodlines: his mother is a granddaughter of Lebrijano III through her sire, Estudiante XII 1983 (also the sire of Olimpico XVII, champion stallion in the U.S. and foundaton sire at Camass Andaluz before he was exported to Mexico); Faralay's sire, Ebanisto, a branded Guardiola stallion and a proven dressage performer and show horse himself in Spain and France, carries the blood of Maromo and Educado, two very well known and highly esteemed Guardiola sires.

Faralay is going well under saddle and he will begin his formal dressage training in the 2nd half of 2008. He is approved for breeding by LG-ANCCE in Spain and we eagerly await the arrival of his first foals next year. He will be used for breeding with all the mares at Ketcham Ranch in 2008 (except for his sisters, Divina and Gioconda) and we are offering him to a limited number of outside mares this year as well.

Watch Faralay's video for a sneak peek at his athleticism, conformation and charisma.

In that same year, he also achieved "Qualified Status", placing him among the elite breeding stallions in the U.S. He has proven himself in open dressage competition, achieving several high point awards in 2007.

Dominante XXIX was bred by Villa Mazzara outside of Barcelona, SPAIN. He was the first stallion with "Qualified Status" to be imported to the U.S. He was crowned Campeon de la Raza at Celebration 2005 and he has continued his career in dressage in the capable hands of Willie Arts at DG Bar Ranch in Hanford, CA.

Romerito II embodies the best qualities of the PRE horse: beauty, correct conformation, intelligence, athleticism and generosity.  And he reliably passes these traits on to his offspring.  Romerito was imported from Germany where he was born from the stock of Yeguada San Miguel in Spain.  Although he stands a true 17hh, he moves with grace and lightness which belies his height.  We have retained a daughter of his, Mimosa KR, for our breeding program and we hope to have another one next year!  Mimosa has inherited her sire's substantial bone and height, along with his strong, uphill movement with outstanding cadence and suspension.   To learn more about Romerito, visit his website www.yeguadaromerito.com.
