Pictures from Brasil 2009 Trip

Come visit picasaweb to view our photos and share some of Brasil with us. The photos are from Belo Horizonte at the National Horse show for the Mangalarga Marchador, and from other cities in Minas Gerais state like Tiradentes and Cruzilia.

This year 2009 was the 60th anniversary of the founding of the ABCCMM, the Brasilian Marchador association and there will be a documentary produced to commemorate the Marchador history and this historic celebration. This photo is of a Marchador stallion named Emblema EAO, pure Favacho in bloodlines who we liked very much.

SW Marchador in Endurance

Mangalarga Marchadors are known for long distance riding and often compete in endurance racing in their native country of Brazil. However, with only 200 Marchador horses in North America, no one has competed them in endurance until now.

Signa Strom of Yankee River Sport Horses in PA and SW Marchador mare, Azenha de Maripa are now competing. Azenha was bred by Haras Maripa in Brazil and imported by Summerwind Marchadors in 2004. Together, Signa and Azenha have entered three races in Azenha’s maiden year, always finishing in the top third, with Azenha wanting to go faster!

Signa has written for the AERC magazine on conditioning horses for endurance riding. She thinks she has a winner in Azenha. Signa is a SW Sponsored Breeder.

For more information about the Marchador breed, visit Summerwind Marchadors ranch website or the USMMA website.
