A Capella’s Carisma – Carisma is one of THE most Classic of Performance Stallions.  Very few performance horses can match his show record.  He is black, bold and beautiful.  He has had an exceptional work ethic since the day he was first under saddle. 
His show career started as a three year old and Carisma was the 2001 National Champion 3 Year Old Performance Schooling Colts, 2002 Reserve national Champion 4 year Old performance Schooling Colts, 2003 National champion performance Stallions and Grand National Champion performance Stallions, 2004 Reserve national Champion Performance Amateur owner Stallions.  He is wonderfully athletic, agile, and has plenty of power.  He is a first class act. His babies are striking in their appearance, refined, elegant and have powerful hock action.  They are easy to train and very suitable for amateur riders.  They can carry the professional right to the top as well.  His first foal, Moot points Abogado, was National Champion Bella Forma 3 year Old Gelding and Third national Champion performance Schooling Gelding.  In 2009, his yearling filly, WR Adorabella was Third national Champion Breeders Sweepstakes Filly, winning enough money ($2978.74) to feed her for several years.  His pinto filly, Moot points Jurista, was 6th national Champion Pleasure Schooling filly out of 38 fillies.  Cosaca Sin Par, Carisma’s daughter, won the first ever national championship in the obstacle trail challenge; she is owned by Bonnie Austin.

Capricho de Duque Sin Par – The King of Color…Spot the Wonder Horse…all names of affection for our most favorite pinto stallion.  Capricho is a trainer’s dream and so are his offspring.  He is always good, always ready to work, always steady, always in gait, has perfect head carriage and is just drop dead gorgeous.  As a 4 year old, he won the Nationals in Versatility and then won Western pleasure in his 5 year old year.  He was also a 6th National Champion in Pleasure Schooling Colts and Geldings.  Capricho is the horse that everyone wants to own and ride.  He is the ultimate breed ambassador.
If  you want consistent gait with color, great athletic ability, the heart of a lion with a rock solid disposition, you need one of his sons or daughters.

Gallardo Sin Par – Gallardo was bred to drive with the hind-end and that is exactly what he does.  His hock action, a legacy of El Pastor, is not manufactured by shoes or training.  He just came out that way.  Gallardo is a kind and sensitive stallion with plenty of brio and beautiful action all the way around.  His babies are very quick and extremely well gaited. 

Gallardo has had an extensive show career and was the PFHA High Point A/O Pleasure Stallion.  He is steady, honest; he was born at GPR and will stay with us for the rest of his life.  We parted with him once, but when we got the opportunity to buy him back, we did.

Andarin Victorial Sin Par – he’s my Andy, Dandy, Candy Man.  But you are not interested in my nicknames for my favorite steed.  He’s the carrot-stalker of GP…able to smell a carrot at 150 feet and nicker for it.  But, that is not going to endear him to you or direct you to buy his foals.  (It should though) Andy’s foals stand apart from most other Paso babies by being gaited through that 3 month to one year period when many little Pasos seem exasperatingly oblivious to their heritage and practice everything else in the pasture when you’re pointing them out to prospective buyers.  Of course, as you know a saddle creates instant recall.  But, new folks to the breed don’t understand that.
Andy goes to Resorte I three times on the top and five times on the bottom of his pedigree.  Now that’s pure.  El Pasture and Plebeyo share the honors of conferring the Chucuano and Resorte there.  His get are little icons of the breed.  High headed and classy.  He passes along a beautiful helping of brio and fervor for footlight fame.
Andy was the 3rd National Champion Performance Schooling Colt as a 3 year old.  Over the next six years he was busier in the breeding pen then in the show ring.  It wasn’t until he was 10 years old that I decided he would be my personal show horse.  We both had reached our “pleasure years” so I showed him in Pleasure Amateur Owner Stallions.  Since he was so securely gaited and a true showman, the transition posed no problem.  At the Grand National Show, we won 3rd Grand National Champion Pleasure amateur owner Stallion.

Cordon Bleu Sin Par – there is only one thing MORE exciting than the birth of a new foal; that thing is the birth of a PINTO foal.  Every pinto born is unique and marked like no other.  When your pinto-bred mare drops a chestnut or bay, you cannot help but feel a little ping of disappointment, no matter how lovely the baby.  But this will never happen with get of Cordon Blue.  He is homozygous for tobiano pinto.  That means every baby he fathers is going to be pinto no matter what color the mama may be.  In addition to his own flashy, tri-color pattern, this colt has the outstanding conformation of his sire, Capricho de Duque Sin Par, plus the easy, natural 4-beat gait and the inherited disposition that people enjoy to train and ride.
