'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 blood.  The Carthusian/ Bocado 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 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), 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 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.  He is the sire of such notable horses as Recluta II, Lisonjerio III, and Sangria.... dam of Teodoro, the two-time National Champion Stallion.  Caballeroso was a Carthusian/Bocado and Galvez bred stallion.  Galvez horses were originally acquired from Concepcion de la Concha & Sierra, a breeder of fighting bulls established in Spain in the 1800s. .
