'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. . |

I bought Maggie from Alberta in April of
2004. I think she is wonderful, I am blessed to have her, and I
welcomed her wholeheartedly into our family.
