2nd ABCCMM Inspection Visit Planned
Dr. Getulio Vieira rides a young MM gelding for the ABCCMM inspection Dr. Getulio Tadeau Vieira returns to the US in May to inspect U.S. born Marchador horses. USMMA members who are also members of the ABCCMM wanted to have their horses maintain Brazilian registry as well. The Brazilian association has strict guidelines and it inspects all horses for conformation, gait and temperment at age three before the horses are fully registered. Lynn Kelley is coordinating the effort again and we plan to host our first clinic during the inspection visit as well.
For more information about the inspection process, please read the attached pdf which was an article published after the 2005 inspection. 2005 marked the 1st time an inspection was ever held outside of the Marchador’s native country, Brasil.

USMMA trains 2 vets in Brazil
USMMA PRESS RELEASE
US Vets training in Brazil as breed inspectors The ABCCMM, the Brazilian Mangalarga Marchador Association accepted two US vets into their training program to become certified inspectors of the breed. The Mangalarga Marchador registration process in Brazil requires that every horse be inspected at age three for gait, conformation and temperament in order to be fully registered and entered into the breeding registry.
The USMMA is dedicated to maintain the quality and hardiness of the breed in the US as well and this is a historic first step. Dr. Tia Nelson and Dr. Hugh Rogers are the first non-Brazilian veterinarians to attend the inspection and technical school. In addition, Dr. Nelson is the first woman inspector. Both may also serve as judges for the USMMA at shows.
The training involved classroom study and field work performing actual inspections at MM breeding farms under the guidance of a trained technician and vet, Dr. Getulio Tadeu Vieira. While in Brazil, the vets also went to horse expositions and other training facilities to learn the versatility of the breed. The US vets will continue training with the Brazilian inspector during his visit to the US this summer.
For more information on the Marchador horse, please visit the association website at http://usmarchador.com.
From L to R: Groom, Getulio, Tia, Hugh in Brazil.
