We always enjoy updates on past progeny. Lindsey has recently transitioned and is now at a therapy center for special needs children. Just as it can for any of us, sometimes life changes for the horses as well!

From fox hunting to therapy, it is a testament to her breeding! This is that Hilton x Narda cross.

AVAILIBLE! Last, but certainly not least! Offered for your consideration, Gravitas Leo (ACHA: A0028 [Jaguel Hilton x Gravitas Genesis]), S*x: C**t, DOB: 6/15/26, Color: Gray. Gen (Genesis, "baby Gen" as we call her) has been a great addition to our broodmare band. She is herself a daughter of Jaguel Narda and out of the great Septiembre stallion Jaguel Tormentoso. Gen has had a few foals for us now, but you may recall "Eve" who sold to Marvin Vandenhoek with Legacy Criollos in Canada (check out their page). Gen, for a change isn't a spitting image of her dam, but brings a lot of influence over from her sire, and that's why we have incorporated her in our breeding. Now, you know the drill, a gray and gray gives you...a gray, and Gen is a beautiful one at that. Gen's colts have been smart and willing to learn. We know Leo will be no exception to that (sells with a contract to geld by 2yrs).

AVAILIBLE! Gravitas Alonso (ACHA: A0030 [Jaguel Hilton x BB Esmeralda]), S*x: C**t, DOB: 7/4/26, Color: Gray. What is there to say? BB Esmeralda is a great mare, when she came to us, she was already started in western reining. Superb temperament while still being athletic and handy (check out her pedigree and you'll see why). In the years she's had off from foals, she is a perfect nanny mare for the colts. Anyone can ride her, as well. I really can't say enough about her. If it says anything, I have kept one of her sons back for us! You may recall past foals of her's, such as Primera, Lilly and Nina. Hilton compliments her in many ways. She often throws a dun that looks just like her, and that would be Alonso, except we expect him to gray. He'll be handsome and well-muscled (sells with a contract to geld by 2yrs).

SOLD! Next up, our lone "mestizo" (mixed/cross bred) offering of the year. Gravitas Piper (Jaguel Hilton x Smart Little Jenifer, AQHA: 4488805), S*x: Filly, DOB: 5/28/26, Colo: Dun. She will be pending registration with the American Quarter Horse Registry (AqHR [formerly the American Half Quarter Horse Registry]) by weaning time. Piper has tractable, "chill" parents on both sides. Her dam has been a steady, reliable standby in our family. The kind of horse you can throw anyone on. We've been very pleased with the Criollo x QH cross. Rather than heavily favoring either parent, they have come out with a good admixture of both parents in mind and conformation. Having grown up in the QH world myself, what I really like that the Criollo adds is toughness, hardiness, hoof, bone, a more elevated front end and lift in the stride. Her sire, Hilton, needs no introduction of course. This little filly is cute, curious and athletic to boot!
