McDowell Equestrian, Inc. is proud to present this exceptional International and National Pure Spanish Stallion Champion with incredible bloodlines to the United States and abroad.

He is of a quality that is seldom exported. He was selected for his dressage potential, physical beauty, presence, size, type and competitive movement.  He is a straight mover, with power and three great gaits. This grey stallion's size, balance, correctness of bone and pedigree promise that he will be a breeding improvement sire of unlimited potential. He is what Spain is striving to produce now and in the future. This exceptional 16.3 hand stallion is the son of Elche, SICAB's Best Movement Champion from the legendary Lovera bloodlines in Andalucia, Spain.

His work attitude, powerful, elastic movement, outstanding temperament and conformational correctness all contributed to him becoming a Qualified Breeding Stallion for the Pure Spanish Horse in 2007. After being presented to the Qualified Tribunal in September 2007, he became 1 of only 5 Stallions in the United States to hold this prestigious 'Qualified' status which was established by the Spanish Royal Decree of Spain in 2002. The register of Qualified Reproducers represents horses judged by a Spanish Tribunal to display characteristics favorable for breed improvement. Characteristics include greater height, superior morphological scores, further developed racial characteristics, exceptional movement, advanced physiological development as determined by a strict veterinary examination, x-rays and semen analysis.

Here are a few of his accomplishments:

• 2002 - Spanish Horse National Championship in Mexico Champion Yearling and for Best Movement
• 2003 - National Champion IALHA Colt 2-year-old

All of these great achievements and characteristics make him an exciting choice for breeders of the Pure Spanish Horse.
