'Maggie' is a wonderfully tempered triple
registered people-loving mare
with bold, powerful movement. She's not an overly tall mare but her
excellent bone (21cm cannons), quiet presence, and big, round-bodied
Spanish conformation make her seem much larger. She has the
distinct iridescent white coat of the classic Andalusian...she 'glows'....
This girl has a great personality and a wonderful sense of
humour. She is a 'water baby' and is often seen pulling the float valve out of the automatic waterer
because she thinks it's 'fun' to play with the stream of water with
her lips. She also enjoys a good roll in the fish pond ...to
the dismay of the fish. |

Maggie was bred by Delia Kramer of Standel Farm of Sicamous, BC.
Maggie's pedigree is primarily comprised of Carthusian/Bocado/ Terry blood. The Carthusian/ Bocado/Terry Andalusian is the
prototypical warhorse we all think of when we think of 'Andalusians'.... this
line is known for their beauty, their baroqueness, their abundant mane
and tail, and their sweet temperaments....all qualities that Maggie has
undeniably inherited.
Maggie is a rare Dacio S daughter. He was one of the highest
appointed stallions ever exported from Spain and scored 94 points in his
evaluation as a 3 year old! He was a Carthusian/Bocado/Terry stallion that
came from Pedro Salas' farm in Mallorca, Spain, and was owned by Barbara
Currie in the US.

Maggie's dam, Aurelia A,
has Banbury breeding on both sides of her pedigree.
Sally Cleaver of
Banbury Cross Farm, a pioneer for the Andalusian breed in North America,
bred horses known for their talent, presence, exceptional movement, and
classic Spanish type.
Aurelia was the only purebred offspring of her sire,
Banbury Nicholas
(who sadly passed in January of 2008 and was owned and loved by
Marguerite Little for his entire life), making Maggie's bloodline even
more precious and unique.
Nicholas had a very
successful show career and was loved by all who had the pleasure to meet
him.
Maggie's Banbury lines are primarily
Carthusian/Bocado/ Terry
but also a small amount of Yeguada Militar and
Escalera as well.
Maggie's great-great grandsire is Calleroso de Nevasco on her dam's
side (for more information on him, see
Camelia's
lineage information). |

Maggie had a grey filly by the incomparable Indiano XVIII
who stands at
Blue Moon Ranch in
Gavilan Hills, California, on June 25, 2009. Indiano is an international champion winning Champion of Spain twice and
Champion and Best Movement in Mexico. What a complete thrill to
have a chance to breed one of our mares to an international legend and
we would like to thank Glenn and Sharon Hittner and the rest of the
Indiano XVIII Syndicate immensely for this incredible opportunity...this
filly is a keeper!
We bought Maggie from Alberta in April of
2004. We think she is wonderful, we are blessed to have her, and we
welcome her wholeheartedly into our family. |
