Our Stallion Faralay II

We are thrilled to announce the arrival of Faralay II, the only breeding son of Ebanisto in the U.S. Faralay was bred by Villa Mazzara in Barcelona, Spain, a small farm producing exquisite PRE's for the sport of Dressage. Faralay stands 16'2hh as a 4 year old and he has tremendous bone, a lovely temperament, and powerful, straight, uphill movement with impulsion and cadence to spare.

His pedigree reveals his strong Escalera and Guardiola bloodlines: his mother is a granddaughter of Lebrijano III through her sire, Estudiante XII 1983 (also the sire of Olimpico XVII, champion stallion in the U.S. and foundaton sire at Camass Andaluz before he was exported to Mexico); Faralay's sire, Ebanisto, a branded Guardiola stallion and a proven dressage performer and show horse himself in Spain and France, carries the blood of Maromo and Educado, two very well known and highly esteemed Guardiola sires.

Faralay began his formal dressage training in the 2nd half of 2008 with Angela Ridgway and made his first show appearance at the Golden State Dressage Festival in April, 2009. He is approved for breeding by LG-ANCCE in Spain. We welcomed the arrival of of his first two foals in earlier this year. He will be used for breeding with all the mares at Ketcham Ranch in 2009 (except for his sisters, Divina and Gioconda) and we are offering him to a limited number of outside mares this year as well.

Watch Faralay's video for a sneak peek at his athleticism, conformation and charisma.

Romerito II embodies the best qualities of the PRE horse: beauty, correct conformation, intelligence, athleticism and generosity.  And he reliably passes these traits on to his offspring.  Romerito was imported from Germany where he was born from the stock of Yeguada San Miguel in Spain.  Although he stands a true 17hh, he moves with grace and lightness which belies his height.  We have retained twodaughters of his, Mimosa KR and America KR, for our breeding program.  Mimosa has inherited her sire's substantial bone and height, along with his strong, uphill movement with outstanding cadence and suspension.  America, our daughter from Divina LXXV, has the same outstanding movement combined with the extreme beauty of her mother.
