Following are some of the foals we've bred

 

 

 

Tornado BV     

Pure Black Andalusian Colt (PRE)

Axis x DS Tango

Tornado was born July 15, 2006.  He is pure homozygous black Andalusian colt.  Tornado has no white markings.  We have repeated the breeding which produced Conquista BV (see "Broodmare" page) and Incognita BV (see "Sold" page). This represents an extremely rare linebreeding to Lebrijano III, a bloodline almost impossible to find in North America. Lebrijano is the sire and grandsire of champions, including Invasor and Gaucho III.

Because Tornado's sire, Axis, was bred in Spain by Jose Escalera and the mother, DS Tango, is out of a pure Escalera dam, he is essentially pure Escalera - a bloodline that is considered very special by knowledgeable horsemen in both Spain and America.

In addition, Tornado BV is a cousin to two-time Spanish Olympic team Dressage medal winner, Invasor. He is a first cousin on the father's side (via Axis).  Tornado's dam, DS Tango, is also a first cousin to Invasor, so the foal will be a double cousin.

Tornado has been registered with the IALHA (S).  He has also been inscribed as a PRE in the Spanish Studbook and will be eligible for revision.

Tornado has straight and forward movement with good engagement and moderate elevation.  He will be 15.2 to 15.3h upon maturity.

Incognita BV    

Pure Black Andalusian Filly (PRE)

Axis x DS Tango

Incognita BV is a wonderful pure black, pure Spanish, PRE Andalusian filly.  Born July 15, 2005, Incognita has no white markings.  Incognita has an excellent conformation with long legs, short back and an unusually nice rear end. She has straight movement with good suspension and drive - definitely dressage quality.  Incognita also has the typical sweet calm quite temperament that we have come to expect from all of our Axis foals.  We expect her to mature at 15.2h or more. 

This filly is a rare genetic treasure.  Incognita's sire is the wonderful, imported, pure Escalera stallion, Axis/Ingrato IX (PRE).  Axis is pure Old Spanish Military on his top line and pure Jose Escalera on his bottom line.  He is linebred to Agente and Maluso.  Axis is an uncle to the recent Olympic Dressage medal winner, Invasor through his sire, the well known Military stud Lebrijano III, himself a son of the legendary Agente.  That means that Incognita is a first cousin to Invasor on her sire line.

Incognita's dam is DS Tango (PRE).  Tango is a Genio daughter, so she is pure Bocado on her top line.  Tango's dam is another daughter of Lebrijano III and pure Jose Escalera blood.  That means that Tango is also a first cousin to Invasor on her dam line. 

Therefore, Incognita is pure Escalera/Military on her topline and pure Escalera on her bottom line.  These are rare and very valuable bloodlines.  It is exactly the sort of pedigree that is highly sought after in Spain for dressage breeding.  Outside of Spain these lines are truly unique. 

Incognita is a full sister to our broodmare, Conquesta BV.

Incognita is inscribed in the Spanish Studbook as PRE and eligible for revision.  She is also registered with the International Andalusian and Lusitano Horse Association (IALHA) as a pure Spanish Andalusian (S).
