:: Yeguada Romerito :: Pura Raza Española - PRE Andalusian Stallion

ELIODORO YR - P.R.E. Gelding, Romerito out of Lar Besadora
"Eddie has been in training for 2 months and is doing great!
Lynda Weese is my trainer (she trains with Walter Zettl). She
loves him. I love his brother Leo… I wish I could have
another… My trainer did send out his dreamhorse ad to her
students because she loves Eddie’s willing attitude so much.
He is one of the easiest horses she has started."
Michele Booth, IN, 07/10

BALDOMERO YR - Andalusian Gelding
"I bought Baldomero aka Diego when he was about 3
months old. I flew up to look at Romerito and his dam
Unique. Romerito is an incredible stallion and I was
amazed at his wonderful behavior while at a horse
show. When Diego let me sit with him in his stall with
his head in my lap snoring that was it! Diego is fun to
be around and is always know as the clown. He has
been shown in USDF breed classes and in IALHA shows
in halter and has excelled in both. At the IALHA
National show in 2006 Diego was Grand Champion Jr.
Gelding and also achieved the IALHA USEF Horse of
the Year Reserve Champion for our region. Since then
he has been started under saddle. Unfortunately I have
not been able to take him as far as I would like the
past few years due to my health issues but I am always
hopeful to get back to showing someday."

DUCADO YR - Revised P.R.E. Stallion
Romerito out of Fantasia PMF
"... without Ducado, my life would not make any
sense and I would never understand the meaning of
true compassion, generosity, gratitude and all
encompassing love and joy. I now know that nature
works in mysterious ways and that we all are
connected. I am finding an amazing proof of that
every day in my life with Ducado....So, with all my
heart and soul - Thank you, Ducado for being you.
And thank you, Gabi, for making this happen!"

IZARRA GHF- Andalusian Mare, Romerito out of Helena
"...Then I saw her. Our eyes locked. I had an
overwhelming feeling of completeness. I HAD to HAVE her.
Izarra GHF is her name. One week later Izarra was mine.
It was late summer 2008 so the show season was over.
We trained over the winter and hit the next dressage
season with a bang! Scoring well into the 60's and 70's.
I will be competing in 2011 riding Izarra first and second
level. I can't wait to see what the future holds for us.
Grand Prix is in our dreams."

VOLTARO YR - Andalusian/TB Gelding
Romerito out of Zirconia (Thoroughbred)
"I knew that Vinnie was very special from the first
moment I saw him. He was only three months old,
but his wonderful personality was already
apparent. He's proved to be incredibly smart and
brave, and has a wonderful sense of humor! He is
everything that I could have wanted in a partner
for dressage. I believe that his wonderful gaits and
work ethic may take us to the FEI levels. I think
that he is "the horse of a lifetime" for me. I am so
grateful to Gabi for allowing me the opportunity
to have such a beautiful, sweet and talented horse
in my life.
Lorie Degrazia, MI, 12/12

FRANCESCA - Romerito out of Normandy (Oldenburg)

"Frankie is a natural athlete, and she has proven her
abilities again and again this show season. She has
consistently scored in the mid to upper 60s at dressage
shows and is currently competing at first level. Frankie
has a mental toughness combined with the athleticism
to take her to the upper levels of dressage. She
recently worked in hand for the first time, and her
natural ability for piaffe and passage were evident.

FERNANDO YR- P.R.E. Andalusian Stallion (Fandango del Sol x Gaea H)
"Since the first time I saw Fernando on an ad I knew right
away that he would be the perfect colt for me. Even if he was
only a couple months old in that pic I knew he would be a
perfect match for a lifetime friendship. And since the first
time I saw him in person on my 24th birthday after a long
drive from California to Michigan we connected right away.
Ever since then we are inseparable, growing on each other.
What I love about Fernando is that he completely trusts me no
matter what we do or were we go. Not only is his presence
majestic but at the same time really noble. He is super sweet
with people and loves their attention, especially when he is
showing off his incredible movements in the arena. Once
again thanks so much Gabi for giving me the opportunity and
privilege of owning this magnificent young stallion Fernando
YR."

ROSA DE LOS VIENTOS - Romerito out of Rose (Paint)
"Rose" is the horse I have been waiting for all my life. She is
honest to the core, she trusts me completely, she has incredibly
soft, balanced gaits that are easy to ride, and she is soooo smart!
She was the easiest horse ever to start under saddle. I remember
another trainer telling me I was crazy starting her under saddle
by myself in an english saddle, but I just knew that she would
never hurt me, and she didn't. She never offered to do anything
even remotely bad and today, at 4 years old with roughly 30
hours of riding time, I can ride her bareback in a halter and
leadrope and she will do everything in the halter that she does in
a bridle. She is so in tune with what I am doing that she responds
to the slightest shift of my weight or squeeze of my leg or rein
making it feel like she is reading my mind. All I have to do is
engage my abdominal muscles and she rounds over her back and
comes onto the bit. I have ridden many horses in my lifetime and
she is a Cadillac in comparison. After having back surgery and
cancer, I have struggled with many physical problems of my own
and have considered giving up riding because it just makes me
hurt. Rose makes riding fun and painless again because I don't
have to struggle, push and pull to make the magic happen. She is
a designer dressage horse who is my best friend and quite
probably my last, and best, horse.

REGALO DE PAZ - P.R.E. Gelding out of Fantasia PMF
"Regalo is the very best horse I have ever had the
opportunity to own in my entire 55 years of owning
horses. He is very intellegent, has the most wonderful
additude and is so level headed that he is not afraid of
anything. He will go along a trail without hesitation and
will go over jumps and will investigate baloons that are
flying about. Wonderful disposition. A horse to meet
anyone's needs. If I were just getting into horses and
knew what I now know, I would never own anything but
an Andalusian. I am just grateful that I finally found this
horse before I got out of horses otherwise I would
never have had the opportunity to know the best."
Barbara Dierdorf, CA, 12/10

More impressive than her dressage talent, however, is her versatility. At a hunter/jumper
show in central Florida last fall, I took her just to "tag along" and get the feel of a big,
chaotic show environment. My trainer decided to put her in a 3 foot jumper class just for
experience. Although she had done some jumping, she had never jumped an entire course,
done roll backs or been pushed for speed. She went around the course like a pro with the
fastest posted time. She pulled one rail in the jump off and finished third out of 21 horses. My
trainer breeds jumpers and brought several well-bred warmbloods to the show, but he had to
admit that Frankie outshone all of them.

A month later, she went to another show where she placed in every jumper show. Just for
fun, we put her in a few hunter classes. Although she is far from the hunter type, she went
around the ring in a nice frame and ended up placing in every class.

Frankie always tries her best and remains undaunted by even the most challenging tests. I
cannot wait to see what the future holds for my special friend and me."

VALENTINA MP - Andalusian Mare (Mina MP x Romerito)
"I got Valentina at 6 months old not knowing how she
would develop, all I had to go on was her lineage
(Romerito II & Mina).
She has exceeded my expectations in morphology,
movement, and great temperament.
I continue to be impressed with her intelligence every
time we train, on the weekends when time permits,
Val picks up the lesson on the first go around.
She is very athletic and powerful under saddle, yet so
soft on the reins that some of the PRE owners that
have seen her ask who has been training her.
I could not be happier with Valentina, she is true to
her lineage."
Johnny Jimenez, FL, 01/11

MA BRISONA - P.R.E. Mare (Gabriela x Romerito)
"Brisa continues to be amazing. She spent 2 months
with Maree McAteer this summer in Montrose, Co
where she went camping, did many trails as well as
arena work. She crosses gullies, streams, and even
went for a swim with Maree at the Equitation Clinic in
Apsen we did this summer. I went back to Montrose in
September to spend a week working with Maree and
Brisa. We did something with her everyday for 7 days
including 3 long trail rides in the hills around
Montrose, arena work, riding in the jump field, and
long reining. She was always ready to go! We
continue to do trail riding as well as arena work and
long reining. She is truly awesome. Maree loved
working with her and everyone who saw her told me
how Maree always talked about her and how good she
was and easy, willing and ready to learn something
new. She's the same with me, always ready to go,
looking for the answer and has energy when you need
it, calm when you need it. Pretty great for a 4 year
old!
Here's to many years of riding and loving my Brisa
girl!"

GRANDINA YR - Romerito x Zirconia
"It is hard to believe that just 5 years ago, I was
looking at a spindly legged little filly with the hopes of
having her become my first FEI level horse. Now here
we are, well on our way, training 3rd level and having
our eyes set on the FEI levels. Grandina is extremely
talented and qualified for Regionals last year at 1st
level as a young 5-year-old, during her first year in the
show ring. She is a graceful mare and has tons of
heart. She is somewhat of a diva, but she is so
beautiful, doesn't she deserve to be a queen? We have
such a wonderful bond and she would do anything to
please me. Her wonderful bloodlines are the reason
for her talent and I am very fortunate to have met
Gabi and Romerito and that I was blessed to have met
my soulmate in this mare.
I am very excited for the future and keep your eye out
for Grandina in the show ring this year at Waterloo! If
you see us, come say hi!"
