  • Legacy Marchadors host 1st MM clinic!

    Kate Barcelos, clinic instructor riding Andante (Apple Pie de Miami)

    We had a great, great Mangalarga Marchador clinic hosted by Legacy Marchadors over this past weekend, April 6-10.  The photo is Kate Barcelos, our Brazilian instructor riding Andante (Apple Pie de Miami) owned by Haras Lucero, TN.  Kate flew in from Brazil, assisted by USMMA member Aline Greene who translated Portuguese to English for us.

    Kate’s credentials were many, but a few I remember are that she was the #2 dressage rider for all of South America, she is a vet, and she is the first woman technician approved by the ABCCMM to inspect Mangalarga Marchadors in gait and conformation.

    We had classroom and riding time, learning with participants from FL, SC, TN, OK, AZ, TX, OR, IN, VA, NC, MO!  It was a success on so many levels!  Thank you Colin and Megan for all your hard work.   And thank you to Bill and Sandy, Rick and Karin for bringing additional Marchadors to ride.

    The next MM clinic is already being discussed for March 2012 in Ocala, FL.  We hope to see you there!

     

     

  • Marchador Chat Room

    There is a new chat site in Brazil with speaking English the focus. How very kind and thoughtful of them to include us like this.  They discuss the different goals in breeding, trends in the breed, problems, solving problems etc. Excellent group. They have asked me, Lori Silcher,  to share with all as the ambassador so to speak, so join in and enjoy!!! cvmmintl@googlegroups.com

  • In memory – Chanel de Miami and Tapixaba do Vale Vermelho

    The USMMA lost 2 great mares this year: Summerwind’s Chanel de Miami 1996-2011 and 4 Seasons’ Tapixaba do Vale Vermelho 1998-2011.. They left us before their time and the only saving consolation is the foals they left behind them.
