Indy's dam, Falina CH, is a beautiful black-bay mare by Guarapo (Genil) and out of a Canastero IX (by Poseido V) daughter. You can read more about Falina and her lineage on her page. Indy's sire is the magnificent Gavilan IV, a solid bay 16.2hh imported PRE revised stallion bred by Pedro Maza and currently owned by David and Jackie Suechting of Camass PRE in Fair Play, California. Gavilan's lineage is filled with noted breeders like Lovera, Escalera, Terry, Lazo, and Yeguada Militar. Gavilan has been successfully shown in open dressage by his owners. Gavilan
has three crosses to the famous Maluso from the
Military stud. Maluso was born at Yeguada Militar but his sire,
Lebrero, was a Muira bred horse (Muira horses are bred to fight
bulls. The Muiras breed their horses to resemble the classic
Andalusian - powerful, with exceptional bone, yet very elegant).
Because of Maluso's excellent confirmation, his photo was used as
the cover for one of the earlier editions of the Spanish studbook
...which is truly a tribute from the horsemen of his day. Gavilan is also an Albero II grandson who was known for his superior movement and is
one of the most influential
stallions for functionality. The Albero II line is considered to
be a golden line because of the remarkable number of offspring
that excel under saddle and in the dressage ring. Bred by
Francisco Lazo Diaz (the Paco lazo line) and the purchased by
the yeguada Militar in Jerez where he stood to the mares of
Spain. Besides functionality, the Albero II line produces
good bone and great hip angles and length.
Indy has a few years to just grow up and be a horse before she becomes a broodmare for us. She is an excellent example of a quality pure Spanish Andalusian and we think she will produce outstanding offspring with a complimenting stallion.
