We breed classic horses with balanced proportions, exceptional feet, and above all quality of mind. Majo has never been shod and has gorgeous tough round feet. He is a horse of unequaled temperament. Consider that Majo started his parade experience when he was just under three years old! Sandwiched between a fire truck and a drill team in his first parade, Majo came through with a regal strength of mind. Majo's noble presence can be traced to Spanish bloodlines dating back to a special line of horses carefully protected by Carthusian Monks. The monks of Cartija in Jerez devoted themselves to the production of the Spanish Horse. Some 60 years ago, these horses that were so carefully nurtured by the monks, were sold to the then largest producer of sherry and brandy in Europe , the Terry Family. Today, 'Terry' horses are still revered as among the finest of Spanish Horses. Majo's father is the famous Majorio now retired in the Northwest. Majo's grandfather is the Spanish Champion of Champions CAPITAN XIII who represents pure Terry blood. CAPITAN XIII was born in Spain in 1964 and came to this country in 1969. CAPITAN XIII is considered as one of the founding Fathers of the breed in this country and the Crown Jewel of breeder Allan Parkinson's stable. Majo's mother, Banbury Bosa Nova, can also boast pure Terry blood! So if you are seriously looking for a special horse, truly the horse of a lifetime, then we are here for you.

The Iberian horse evolved in hilly and rugged areas of the Iberian peninsula. Fighting for survival and grazing over this rough terrain led to the development of a strong, arched neck, a short-coupled and powerful body, hindlegs positioned well underneath the body with strong hock action and impulsion, and small, round hoofs. These attributes made the horse extremely agile as well as forward moving. Some researchers believe that these horses were being ridden perhaps as early as 4,000 BC. When the Phoenicians arrived in Iberia in 2,000 BC, the Iberian cavalry was already a formidable foe. Even at this early date, the horse was also well known for its trusting and kind disposition. These attributes of strength, natural collection, agility, impulsion, and kind temperament are still the fundamental characteristics possessed by the Spanish horse. |
