Brando
1999
Andalusian Stallion, PRE (Pure Spanish Horse), 15.3
hands, Bay
Every once in a while, a stallion comes along that
possesses ideal conformation, movement, rideability,
pedigree, and heart. Brando combines all of these
traits with beauty and elegance that is
unsurpassed. Brando comes from strong dressage
bloodlines (his sire, Navarre GF, was ranked 5th in
the USEF's Current Leading Dressage Sires in 2005).
Brando is a shining example of why the Andalusian is
referred to as "the Horse of Kings."

Conformation
Form following function would best describe
Brando's ideal conformation. An uphill build, with
a short, strong back make collection easy for this
stallion. Brando has clean, straight legs with
correct angles which allow him to have lofty,
ground-covering gaits. An elegant neck and head
with large, bright eyes are just the icing on the
cake!
|
 |
Movement
Brando has three lovely gaits. His walk is pure,
with good reach and overstep. His trot is forward
and lofty. His canter is simply to die for...rhythmical
and bold with lots of jump! Brando has a good
hindleg, and always engages himself from behind.
|
 |
Rideability
Brando is extremely rideable and trainable. He
is very intelligent, and loves to work. His
training sessions occur in an 8 acre open field, not
in an enclosed arena. He is a joy to ride and
train!

 |
Pedigree
Brando has an exceptional pedigree. His sire,
Navarre GF, was ranked 5th in the USEF's Current
Leading Dressage Sires in 2005. His Grand Dam,
Ladina, was one of the most celebrated Andalusian
mares. Brando's 1/2 brother, Gorron GF by Navarre
GF, is currently competing at Fourth Level with
Janne Rumbough with great success.

Heart
Brando has tremendous heart! This kind, gentle
stallion is truly a pleasure to work with. He tries
hard to please his rider every day. He is the
ultimate over-achiever!
