ANGEL is the first one to greet you at the gate, and you love to see her, every day.
This bright and beautiful young mare has a lovely face and big Spanish eyes.  Her conformation is beautiful as well.   ANGEL SO FAR has very good legs and feet, with excellent forearm-cannon bone ratio. Angel’s body is divided into three equal parts, just as the books say it should be.  Her shoulder is laid back, with a good length of humerus.  Her hindquarter has a good flat scapula and a forward angled ilium.  Just like the books say it should be.  These are points that open judges look for in Sport Horse prospects.  How did she get so lucky?  It’s bred to the bone with ANGEL.  ANGEL’s dam *JEZABEL is still sound and ridden at the age of twenty three, after going the distance as a show horse and as a brood mare.

We have outstanding memories of JEZABEL and her jumping career.  In an early all breed schooling show, where JEZABEL won the Jumpers, a cowboy standing at the rail remarked, “Well, she was the littlest horse here.  But she jumped the biggest”.  And the nice lady at a Pebble Beach Open show, who came to the gate to inquire about JEZABEL after she won again, with her handy turns and will to succeed, “What kind of horse IS that”?  And when *JEZABEL won the US National Championship 1999 in a second round jump off at 4’ to 4’3”, when she galloped in such a forward way over the raised course, with an impossible inside turn to a fan shaped triple bar, going clean with the fastest time, judge Victor Hugo-Vidal remarked in his dry fashion, “Now, THAT was exciting”.   We appreciate the comment; he had seen the best of the Open Jumper world. 

Beautiful and sweet yes, and ANGEL has already shown the exceptional jumping talents of *JEZABEL SSB +//, ANGEL jumps easily and with great form in the free jump arena.  ANGEL also shows the excellent Dressage talent of her sire *S S ORION, who has Regional and National awards in H/J, and the Region III Championship, Third Level Musical Free Style.  ANGEL is already a winner in her first Dressage show. 

ANGEL’s grandsire is the great *DIAMANTE, and ANGEL is definitely a diamond, ready to shine. ANGEL SO FAR can go the distance for an owner who would like to show to the top, from proven winning ancestors.  Stanley Ranch has had an outstanding ride with *JEZABEL SSB +//.  She has helped to make the name of our breeding farm what it is today.  ANGEL could give you a great ride.  ANGEL can also be a great broodmare, she has a rare pedigree, as the only offspring of Legion of Excellence *JEZABEL SSB +// and *S S ORION, son and grandson of WAHO ‘Best of Spain’.

ANGEL SO FAR (*S S ORION X *JEZABEL SSB +//), SCID Clear, CA N/N.

Priced at $25,000, including a breeding to US SUPREME CHAMPION CZANTIAGO.

CARETA II (CONGO X URGANA by MAQUILLO) Considered by many to be 
one of the top daughters of CONGO.  Dam of SAETA (who produced *DIAMANTE), and several other offspring exported from Spain. 

CONGO (ILLUSTRE X TRIANA by URSUS) One of the all time great breeding stallions of Spain, CONGO was a Yeguada Militar stallion, sire of TABAL,
DANDI II. CARETA II, ZALEMA, DANZA II. ELEGANCIA, SOMALIA and more. They say a great stallion is proven if he has more get into the second generation. 
CONGO had 87 offspring, and 543 grandget.

*DIAMANTE (GALERO X SAETA by JACIO), sire of *JEZABEL SSB +//, who was a star producer and honored for three years running as Meritorious Sire for the Arabian Sport Horse Assn.  *DIAMANTE was a story book horse, a beautiful alabaster white stallion with big black eyes and a flowing mane and tail.  *DIAMANTE was a delightful horse to ride galloping in the desert.  Sire of *JEZABEL SSB +// and *JOYAMIA +//.  See complete information here.

FAKETEKO (ZACATECO X ZAKATEKA by MARMOL).  Sire of *S S ORION, 
born near Madrid at the Flor de lis Stud Farm of Princesa Teresa de Borbon, Marquesa de Laula.  FAKETEKO was named WAHO (World Arabian Horse Organization) ‘Horse of the Year’ for Spain 2007.

GALERO (ZANCUDO X ZALEMA by CONGO).  The famous GALERO, YM stallion, sire of numerous Spanish Champions and Supreme Champions, and Champions in many countries from GALERO’s offspring exported from Spain.  A private breeder from the USA offered the Spanish Military one million dollars for GALERO.  He was informed that the Yeguada Militar does not sell stallions at any price.  Later, GALERO was posted to a private Stud Farm in Spain, and was stolen by gypsies, and never heard from again.  There are several articles about GALERO (title)

JACIO (TABAL X TEORICA), YM stallion.  One of the most exotically beautiful sons of TABAL, also inheriting a lot of his beauty from his dam TEORICA (BARQUILLO X GALATIFE). There have been articles of tribute written about GALATIFE. JACIO is well known for beauty in his offspring.  In the USA, we are most familiar with his son

Of the four daughters, three were Canadian and US National Champions in Working Hunters and Jumpers, *GALAXIA SSB +/ (X NEGAL), *IBERIA 
(X GEBEL TARIK), and *JEZABEL SSB +// (X *DIAMANTE).  The fourth daughter, *EFIGIE (X MARMOL), was Regional Champion in Pleasure Driving, Informal Combination, Country Pleasure and Show Hack.  KADOFA was a ‘sire producer’, as her offspring each strongly resembled the sire, but all inherited her heart and winning ways.

MARMOL (TABAL X ESCALA II), YM stallion, on loan to Yeguada Flor de lis and to Stanley Ranch.  We found the MARMOL offspring to be tall, with beautifully set necks, a fine hair coat, extreme action and athletic ability.  *ESPERANTO, *ELENA, and *EFIGIE were born at Stanley Ranch, Princess Teresa had numerous outstanding MARMOL offspring including ZAKATEKA (MARMOL X SAMARKANDA – Supreme CH Mare of Spain), dam of FAKETEKO who is sire of *S S ORION.
