Haras Itajoana - horses in the US


Itajoana mixes Tabatinga and Abaiba bloodlines to produce solid, beautiful & fast Marchadors. The main stallions used there were: Icaro de Itajoana, Acai Tabatinga and Cafundo Uranio. Cafundo Uranio (a mix of Herdade and Abaiba) was the farm owner’s favorite horse. When Uranio passed away, he proved impossible to replace. Although they still prize their Marchadors, the breeder is not as active today. Itajoana is part of a larger farm called Fazenda Santarem, a magical place. The farm also produces cattle, coffee, & crops.

Itajoana Marchadors were imported in 2001 by the Lazy T Ranch and in 2004 by Summerwind. Here are the horses:

Michigan:

· Atriz de Itajoana, grey mare, being used as a broodmare with the Bryans at Great Lakes Marchadors.

Montana:

· Bambino de Itajoana, grey gelding (son of Acai Tabatinga) and Vicosa de Itajoana, buckskin mare, both with Rox Rogers and being used in reining and cowboy dressage.

· Vedete de Itajoana, grey mare, with Dr. Tia Nelson. She may be used as a broodmare or endurance mount.

· Pupila de Itajoana, grey mare, being used as a broodmare. (granddaughter of Cafundo Uranio) with Tresa Smith at the Lazy T.

Wyoming

· Violeiro de Itajoana, grey gelding being used for ranch work and pleasure with Marion Neidringhaus.
