Castile Baroque Andalusians specializes in the old style baroque Andalusian with the foundation P.R.E. stallion ELEGIDO C. Elegido is a (homozygous) blue black color 15'3 hands, born 2001. He was imported from Spain as a two year old by Karen Sausman, Kingsmark Farms, California. Castile Baroque Andalusians' goal is to produce/promote the more original type of Andalusian, the horse of many many years ago in Spain. We want to breed for the elegant, agile cat-like movement these horses used to have more of, the handy, ready to explode on the haunches horse, the horse that is so natural for high school and airs movements. Elegido has nearly perfect conformation to do this. His beautiful head is well set on his neck, with a perfect top-line: smooth neck into withers, short back, nice round croup, powerful hindquarters. His front and rear legs are set perfectly under him, perfect cannon bones. His movement is straight,(no winging whatsoever)elevated and yes, he can extend! Elegido has that wonderful Andalusian temperment that I understand he passes on to his offspring of which he now has seven and they are all gorgeous. Most are blacks, bred to both black and grey mares with one bay. He had two babies this year at the same farm, both fillies. One black and one grey. The owner says the nicest she's seen in a while!
