EXTRAVAGANTE BAILARIN meaning "Fancy Dancer" Amazing Spanish Pony (reg. Peruvian Paso )

Don't miss this chance to start your own string of Spanish Horses or Ponies or ride that unique horse that no one else has!!

There are only a hand full of breeders breeding for the Spanish Pony. There are several good Gaited Pony and Spanish Pony registries. Due to the owners worsening allergies she will not be breeding any more so is offering this her foundation mares for sale. This is a truly foundation quality mare, just now four years old and ready start under saddle. Not only is the breed rare, but it is rare to find a foundation quality pony that is Spanish for sale. Because she is actually a horse, you have the unique ability to also breed her up for larger horse size, or down for pony size. They just do not get any fancier then this.

The Peruvian Paso is considered the Cadillac of gaited horses. They possess a four beat stepping pace similar to the Paso Fino, but with more stride, and the Peruvians are a larger bodied horse. At present there are approximately 20,000 Peruvians in North America and only about 40,000 Peruvian horses in existence in the world. This was in large due to Peru's tight breeding and export control to keep this breed clean with their original Spanish traits in tact. The original Spanish horse brought to Peru was comprised of the Spanish Jennet, the Barb, the Friesian, and the Andalusian.

"Dancer's" sire *Anibal is a National Champion in Peru, and a great grandson of Sol De Paijan (a sought after Peruvian Paso bloodline), was imported from Peru the year her Dam Estrella was bred to him. Dancer was one of the stallion's first foals in the US. It was not an easy task getting Anibal in the US. He was spotted by Jeanelle and Lucho Dapelo, owners of Pecan Valley Ranch , during a visit at a famous Peruvian Paso Breeding Ranch in Peru. Lucho's family are well known and respected breeders/trainers in Peru, and know the best when they see it. Anibal was not actually for sale and it took a lot of work to convince the owner to sell him with them retaining some breeding rights. The Dapelo's also own the famous stallion "Fenix", Dancer's grandfather (Known for his amazing beauty, flare and gait, all traits he passed on to his 237 direct sons and daughters - and 477 descendants! On February 18, 2007, Fenix was euthanized due to a colic impaction. At 28 years old, he was sound and otherwise healthy. Fenix has created a legacy and now Anibal is already creating a name for himself in the US, and his get are already proven assets to any breeding program.

Dancer exhibits the best of her sire and dam (a Fenix daughter). Dancer is a black dun, with prominent reverse dappling (rare), two white hind stockings, and a star. At certain times of the year her coat looks like a black leopard. She has the ultimate extreme Spanish look, with a thick mane and tail, high set arched neck, and correct conformation. She is of a more baroque style but with distinct refinement. She has wonderful natural thread (good gait at different speeds), and also exhibits the ability to be five gaited. She would make a extremely fancy driving horse.

Dancer got her name, because she floats across the ground, and prisses around like a dancer, but is also very athletic. She has a very cute chiseled face, good ground manners, and is curious to new things. She is good with her ears, and feet, but she has not been trailered or clipped yet. Dancer physically mature now, and ready to start on her career.

This mare is unique in her size in that she is a nice size for an adult who does not wish to use a ladder to get on a horse, or for a child to grow up with. She can be bred up for larger horses, or bred down for the Gaited Spanish Ponies. That is an exciting new market to consider. If you are looking for a REAL World Class mare for breeding , showing, pleasure, or driving, Dancer is the perfect choice. Remember this mare is only for sale because her owner's allergies to horses has gotten very bad, otherwise she would not be on the market. She is regretfully for sale at a much lower price then she is worth. Don't let this foundation quality mare pass you by.
