Summerwind Marchadors, Inc is proud to be a member and breeder with the Brazilian association (ABCCMM), an old, established registry and the U.S. registry we helped found, the USMMA.
Scottsdale is our winter (Nov-Mar) showcase for these wonderful animals. We train our horses here and do the breeding for the year - collecting and freezing semen and embryos with Dr. Gerry Longworth. We often give breed demonstrations for Scottsdale natives and visitors. There are 3 desert preserve areas nearby so we have the riding room these horses are born to do.
Pagosa Springs became our ranch home (Mar-Nov) in 2006. Here the horses are in a natural herd environment and live life to the fullest. Clean mountain air, brilliant blue skies, and lots of green grass is the life we wanted for us and the horses. Here the foals run and play and showcase themselves!
Originally from New England, we became breeders after retirement because of our passion and enthusiasm for Marchador horses and natural horse care methods. We owned our first Marchador in 2001 and the rest, as they say, is history.
Our breeding program tries to emulate the best breeding practices from Brazil. Our goals focus on breeding
Mangalarga Marchadors
that have beauty, a smooth gait, athleticism, and the sound, responsive personality that endears them to everyone who meets them.
For more information on our embryo and semen program that can be ordered cooled or frozen from Scottsdale, please call us or email us. To see the exciting new possibilities, click on RESERVE A FOAL.
