Ranch Horses
Home Up One Level


These are our personal riding horses or breeding stock.  They are not offered for sale, but we did want to "brag" about them, too!

Vistoso de Oro BSN

"Vistoso" was the first horse purchased for our ranch.  A grandson of Sol de Oro (V), he was successful in the show ring and is now a trail riding horse for our family.  Our daughter, Shireen, won many classes riding him and ultimately High Point Junior in 1999 at the Southern California Peruvian Paso Horse Club show.  In addition, he was reserve Champion in the Champion Geldings class in their fall show (Grand Championship Show) in 1999.  At age 17, Vistoso is now the ranch horse - the one horse that all the visitors and children love to ride.  We have had so many offers for him and could have sold him many times, but he will remain on the ranch to the end of his days, continuing to be an ambassador for the breed.

 

APV Princessa de Fenix

A daughter of Fenix and half sister to the 1999, 2000 and 2002 (Laureada) National Champion mare, Amaretta de Fenix.  Princessa is an extremely well-gaited mare with strong legs and beautiful thick mane.  She is professionally trained, has won blue ribbons in the show ring, and has had amazing foals. 

 

Promesa de Perfeccion

"Promesa" is our golden girl, with the bloodlines of Paisano, *Lancero and *JOR Romance.  She is the sweetest, most trusting horse and so fun to ride.  She has been ridden in shows, 4-H classes, and long distance trail riders, by both children and adults.  The sign of a great broodmare is one that can pass along its best traits and produce foals that are even better than oneself.  Promesa has done this twice - with El Fuego and Ramona - both outstanding, well-gaited young horses.  We are looking forward to more spectacular babies from this mare.

 

HLR Ramona

HLR Ramona (daughter of HDLR Avenal and Promesa de Perfeccion) will be Tammy's personal riding horse when she is older.  A tall chestnut filly, she is very sweet and flashy.

 

Newest Addition to the Ranch

Esperanza de Feniz

"The Hope of Fenix" was born in June of this year, just a few months after her famous champion grandfather, Fenix, passed away at the grand age of 28.  Esperanza is extremely flashy - black with a white star and socks, and demonstrates an independent attitude and spirit.  Her dam, Princessa de Fenix and her sire, RTP Talus (son of legendary Soberano), have passed on their greatest attributes to this young filly.  She will be a spectacular show mare in the future, gaiting her way to many winning ribbons.
