Lebrijano III
Bay, 1970
Breeder: Yaguada Militar
Lebrijano
III was a well known Military Stud who stood at their main
establishment in Jerez for almost 20 years before being purchased to become the
foundation sire of a newly opened breeding farm.
Lebrijano's
father was the legendary Agente, regarded by many in Spain
to be the prototypical Spanish Stallion. Agente’s
father, (Lebrijano's grandfather), was the famous Maluso.
Jose
Luis Escalera, scion of Spain's most ancient breeding program and famous for his
focus on functionality, frequently bred to Lebrijano. The resulting offspring
won numerous awards for best movement.
Lebrijano’s descendants have a reputation
in Spain as exemplary dressage horses. Alfonso Sanchez of Club del Caballo has
based his breeding program on the Lebrijano/Escalera lineage.
Sanchez says that breeding to the Lebrijano/Agente/Maluso line "is a
basic and essential ingredient if a skillful and almost safe prescription is
desired for obtaining solid horses with excellent aptitudes for dressage."
Lebrijano has a number of famous children:
-
Rondeno IX (a.k.a., Mango or Mango Rondeno); Bred by Bohorquez;
Champion of Spain in 2002; Spanish National Equestrian Team (dressage) in WEG in
2000.

Other well-known Lebrijano sons were Famoso XIII, Macanuo II, and Ingrato
VIII.
Solitaria XII, Prometida III and Romera XV were three of Lebrijano’s
more exceptional daughters.
These are all Escalera bred horses known for their movement.
Remarkably, Lebrijano’s grandchildren are proving to just as good, or even
better than their parents. Consequently, the Lebrijano line is highly valued in
Spain and a number of the more progressive, dressage-oriented breeders are
basing their breeding on his offspring.
