✦ An Exceptional Foal Offered In Utero ✦
Poeta de Susaeta × Major Mac V Bloodlines
Expected 2027 | Andalusian × Arabian
Offered in utero is an exceptionally bred foal representing a rare union of two celebrated traditions: the classical Spanish horse and the Varian Arabian.
This foal is being purpose-bred to unite the collection, power and extraordinary trainability of the PRE with the refinement, athleticism, endurance and unmistakable presence of one of America's most influential Arabian breeding programs.
THE DAM — IRIS RE II
Iris RE II is a beautiful Andalusian mare and a direct daughter of Poeta de Susaeta, placing one of Spain's accomplished modern PRE dressage stallions immediately in this foal's pedigree.
Poeta de Susaeta's record is exceptional.
As a four-year-old, he won at the 2016 SICAB PRE World Championship with 83.80%, which Yeguada Susaeta describes as the highest average achieved in the four-year-old division at that time. At five, he represented Spain at the World Young Horse Championships in Ermelo, became Spanish Young Horse Reserve Champion, and returned to SICAB to become PRE World Champion with 80.5%. �

Poeta subsequently progressed all the way to international Grand Prix dressage. His FEI record includes a 69.304% CDI3* Grand Prix and 69.745% Grand Prix Special, with three international wins recorded by the FEI. �

Perhaps even more significant for this foal, Poeta is establishing himself as a sire. In 2025, five of his offspring competed in Spain's young-horse championship final, including 1st and 3rd among 35 combinations in the four-year-old division, while another finished second in the six-year-old division. �

Iris's maternal pedigree further reinforces the old Spanish foundation, carrying Impaciente II, Talisman IV, Oficial XXIX, Nevado IX 1980, Expres and other established PRE bloodlines.
This is not simply an Andalusian mare. Iris represents generations of carefully selected Spanish breeding with genuine dressage performance behind her.
THE SIRE — MAJOR MAC V
On the other side stands Major Mac V, one of the important modern sires carrying forward the legendary Varian Arabian program.
Major Mac V represents generations of Varian breeding tracing directly through Maclintock V, Desperado V, Huckleberry Bey++, Bay El Bey++ and Bay-Abi++, together with influential Arabian names including Khemosabi++++// and Afire Bey V. Varian describes Major Mac V as carrying six generations of its direct stallion line beginning with U.S. National Champion Bay-Abi++. �

His success as a sire is remarkable.
As of Varian's October 2024 tally, 57 of Major Mac V's 67 shown offspring had earned championships — an 85% champion rate — with 27 National winners. �
Varian Arabians
And those offspring aren't confined to a single discipline.
Major Mac V progeny have earned National and major show honors in sport horse, western dressage, reining, ranch riding, cutting/herd work, western pleasure, hunter pleasure, trail and halter. His offspring continued winning at the 2025 U.S. Nationals and the 2026 Scottsdale show. �

That versatility is precisely why Major Mac V was selected for Iris.
A RARE CROSS WITH A PURPOSE
This is much more than an Arabian crossed with an Andalusian.
It brings together two breeding philosophies that have spent generations selecting for many of the same qualities:
balance • intelligence • courage • responsiveness • athleticism • beauty • longevity • presence
From Iris and Poeta de Susaeta comes the potential for collection, elevation, powerful hindquarter engagement and classical dressage ability.
From Major Mac V comes refinement, stamina, athletic versatility, intelligence and the unmistakable Arabian presence, backed by an extraordinary record as a sire of successful performance horses.
The result is an unusual opportunity to acquire a purpose-bred Iberian-Arabian sport horse with internationally accomplished performance blood immediately behind it on both sides.
This foal should be particularly exciting for someone interested in classical dressage, Working Equitation, Western Dressage, sport horse competition or the development of a distinctive future breeding horse.
This is not a cross we expect to reproduce casually. The combination of a Poeta de Susaeta daughter with Major Mac V makes this offering particularly special.
