Imported black · 3 ANCCE stamps
Black · 16 hh · Foaled 2006 · Imported from Spain by Rancho del Lago
The only black stallion in the U.S. with three ANCCE stamps — Revised, Qualified, and Recommended Producer of Dressage Morphology. Leading USEF Andalusian sire for 2024, with an elegant neck and lofty gaits he consistently passes on.
In memoriam · 1997 – 2022
Brave yet gentle enough to be a child's lead-line horse. Magico sired over 100 foals with more than 220 show titles between them, and was ridden by over 200 people as our lesson horse. He passed in 2022 at 25; his story stays here for the families who own his offspring.
Read his storyDon't just take our word for it
“I have never seen an Andalusian move like this. Most horses have two good gaits and one that you hope the judge doesn't care much about. All three of his gaits are outstanding.”
“I have been standing stallions for 26 years and your stallions have the best temperament I have ever seen.”
“I judge a lot of horses and forget most by the next day. I will not be forgetting your stallions any time soon.”
“I can't believe you were able to purchase this treasure. He is so well balanced and you can pick out his foals at a glance.”
“I just want to tell you, this is the best horse at the national show!”
“Anyone can ride this horse; he is 90% horse and 10% rider.”
“Mother, how did you let this one get away? He uses the hind end like a warmblood. Put me in line for next year's!”
“There aren't enough adjectives to describe these fillies. Beautiful, friendly, outgoing, intelligent, inquisitive, problem solving. Their conformation and movement are outstanding.”
“What impresses me the most about the horses out of your stud is their minds. I am working with two right now and they both show a lot of sense.”
