His story
Probably the most decorated horse in the breed — 180 major show titles, both IALHA Life Merit Awards and Horse of the Year in 2011. Gentle enough to be a lesson horse, brilliant enough to win under a dozen international judges.
Saltador ORO carries a pedigree of distinction, with champions of Spain and Mexico and important foundation sires in the lines of Terry, Guardiola and Cárdenas. He is a son of Indiano XVIII, Champion of Mexico, and a grandson of Centella V, Champion of Spain.
He consistently passes on superior movement and a kind temperament. Twenty-one of his offspring shown to date have earned 255 show titles, including 44 National Championships — and he was the #1 USEF Andalusian sire by offspring points in 2019 and 2021.
