Bloodlines......Valencia ADP

If interested in performance, one would have a hard time finding much better breeding than Valencia. Valencia is a 2010 Andalusian mare who is inscribed with ANCCE & registered with IALHA. She is a tall bay daughter of Noble GF & Palena KDW. Our "Valli" carries the rare ability to produce chestnut in her offspring. Valencia was bred by Andalusian Dressage Partners, a rising star in the breeding of dressage type PRE horses. Truly she has it all...height, conformation, beauty & movement, movement, movement. No surprise considering the wonderful bloodlines which have so richly contributed to her quality. Valencia's sire is one of a handful of PRE stallions to have competed at Grand Prix in dressage. Noble GF was bred by Gremlan Farms, a standout program for dressage type breeding. Noble's sire, Gaucho III, is a qualified stallion who was imported from Spain & was also a successful Grand Prix horse. Gaucho is half brother to Invasor II, a two time Olympic horse for Spain. Noble's dam is a daughter of "The Lion of Spain" Indiano XVII, known for his stunning movement & classic Spanish type. Noble's dam is ,as well, a grandaughter of Regalado II who not only was a successful dressage horse before he passed but a son of the great stallion, Leviton. Valencia's dam Palena KDW is a line-bred mare to the stallion Granadino XIV 1978. Granadino was a son of Leviton. Leviton is considered the #1 military stallion, siring many champions including Evento, another Spanish Olympic horse. Palena is also a grandaughter of the great mare, Quizas III, a Vasallo II daughter. Vasallo II was a Champion of Spain & foundation sire for the famous Miguel Cardenas Osuna stud. Valencia's pedigree, indeed, brings together powerful performance bloodlines. She is a type that might be bred to many stallions. She's so nicely put together with such perfection of movement that it will be hard to go wrong. That said, we'll be picky in the extreme as to who we choose for her. She came to Lafayette Valley at two years old. She spent the next year getting to know her new herd & new owner. She has blossomed into the stuff of dreams in that time. At three, she was bred to the several times Grand National Champion stallion Gitano MOR for a 2014 foal. After her foal is weaned next year, she will go into training to get a riding foundation in place & hopefully show off that incredible movement in some forum. Excluding a black filly, her 2014 foal will be available to support our program. It's impossible to imagine this foal will not be of the highest quality........ so like it's mother, a gem for someone. Valencia's future is bright....we're graced to be a part of it!
