CZANTIAGO's first foals have arrived!
See them here.
CZANTIAGO is now in training at Julie
Winkel's Maplewood Stables, Reno, NV
and is making great progress.
| A horse training video,
of a big kid (6' 2) on our three year old colt, Supreme US National Futurity
colt CZANTIAGO. Lisa took some video last weekend (mid December)
where CZANTIAGO is spending the winter in CA with Michelle Mahoney Training
Stable - the Mahoney's have shown seven National Champions over fences
and one Supreme Champion in-hand stallion for us over the years.
CZANTIAGO is ridden
in the video by Cody Mahoney, who showed him at the Arabian Sport Horse
Nationals, in-hand. Cody was always a good rider, and has learned even
more in his six months in Ireland. Still pretty rudimentary work
here, the colt is trying to figure out what to do with the iron in his
mouth, but goes freely forward in spite of that. He shows his good
minded attitude and is already doing the right sort of upward and downward
transitions. This is the fifth time the 3 year old has been ridden, and
those of you have started horses will appreciate his good balance and excellent
response to his rider at this stage of training.

CZANTIAGO’s pedigree is a wonderful
balance of the best of the athleticism and beauty exhibited in the Spanish
Arabian. For his breeders, Dave and Molly Stanley, (who have owned
more than 500 Spanish Arabians in Spain and the USA through thirty five
years of breeding Spanish Arabians; see importation
notes), CZANTIGO fulfills the hope and promise of his pedigree.
He is a beautiful boy, who exudes charisma and quality.
His balance and symmetry are beautiful
from any angle, when he is standing still
or in motion. You can see behind
CZANTIAGO’s bold and fearless gaze an extraordinary and ‘sympatico’ equine
mind. Altogether, CZANTIAGO is an “exceptional young stallion” (Judge
Patrick Bostwick’s remark), a true Arabian Sport Horse.
In heritage, CZANTIAGO is a Classical
Spanish Arabian. To look closely at his pedigree, you will find that
every top stallion line traces to CONGO through TABAL. TABAL (CONGO
x HILANDERA) is legendary in his legacy of beauty and talent in both sons
and daughters. Many are owned by the State Stud of Spain (Yeguada
Militar), and also by a number of private breeders. We have visited
two private Arabian studs, each founded solely through the descendents
of one daughter, each, of TABAL
Near Madrid is Yeguada Flor de Lis,
owned by S.A.R. Princesa Teresa de Borbon, Marquesa de Laula. NEVISCA (TABAL
x CAMPERA by AQUILITADO) was a
gift to dna. Teresa from her husband
Inigo, Marques de Laula. NEVISCA was the foundress of Yeguada Flor
de Lis, producer of many Spanish Supreme Champions.
In the Santa Ynez Valley of California,
OM EL ARAB, owned by Sigi Constanti, has established an international program
with many Champions here and abroad, from the descendents of the TABAL
daughter *ESTOPA (x UYAIMA by BARQUILLO).
CZANTIAGO’s dam PASCION S is descended
from TABAL through her sire *ESPERANTO (by MARMOL by TABAL) and her dam’s
sire GEBEL TARIK (by JACIO by TABAL). PASCION S (*ESPERANTO x *IBERIA)
was Champion Mare of the Pacific Coast Arabian Sport Horse Classic in 1996,
the first Arabian Sport Horse Show held in the USA. PASCION S was
also Champion mare, Spanish Futurity, at one, two and three years.
PASCION S is dam of herd sires TOBASCCO and YO, (x *S S ORION) and AL EXSTATIC
(x EXODUS I+//).
CZANTIAGO’s granddam *IBERIA has had
a career as a Hunter, both in the Hunt Field, where she earned her Certificate
as a Recognized Field Hunter with Los Altos Hounds, and in the show ring,
as Canadian National Champion Working Hunter (first in all three rounds).
*IBERIA also won many blue ribbons in leadline for Stanleyxgranddaughter
Katie.
*IBERIA produced four daughters, PASCION
S, ROSE SR SWEET and VAQUERA
(X *ESPERANTO) and CHOCOLAT KISS (x
SIEMPRE CIATO). PASCION S and ROSE SR SWEET have produced SHN Futurity
Champions. *IBERIA, 1986 grey mare, (GEBEL TARIK SSB x KADOFA SSB)
is happy to be again in the show ring with Cameron Yeatman, age 8, showing
Walk-Trot and again winning Championships.
In CZANTIAGO’s pedigree, we find grandsire
GHADAMES (grandson of TABAL), Spanish National Supreme Champion in-hand
and Nation’s Cup Champion 1981. GHADAMES was purchased by Maj. PWS and
Joanna Maxwell, exported from Spain to England, there won the title of
British National Sire Produce Champion at Ascot . GHADAMES was sold
to Brazilian road builder Sebastian Camargo, and has offspring in Brazil.
GHADAMES (JACIO x LOPAZ) and GEBEL TARIK
(JACIO x NOMBELA – whose dam was LOPAZ) are 7/8 brothers, and both are
grandsons of TABAL. LOPAZ was a famous mare in Spain, and was exported
to an Arabian breeder in Peru at age 22.
GEBEL TARIK was three year old Champion
stallion of Spain in 1981. His dam NOMBELA was Spanish RES CH Produce
of Dam, shown with GEBEL TARIK and daughters BRETANA and DELICIA.
GEBEL TARIK was a driving horse in Spain.
CZANTIAGO’s granddam *KADINA (TABAL
x BETONICA) was also owned by Maxwell’s Lodge Farm Stud. Joanna Maxwell
told Molly that *KADINA had a tremendous talent for jumping. *KADINA and
IAGO (Spanish Natl Champion Jumper and Champion jumper of Southern Spain
at 2 meters), were full brother and sister, so jumping talent lies strongly
in the family and comes to CZANTIAGO from his sire *GRANIZAR (GHADAMES
x *KADINA). It appears to come strongly through the blood of BETONICA
(MAQILLO x SAKLAUIA YEDRAN), gift from King Abdullah to Spain's General
Franco in 1946.
In pedigrees, as in life, balance is
important. Another look at CZANTIAGO’s pedigree shows that his four
great granddams are all URSUS descendents, LOPAZ, a MALVITO granddaughter,
BETONICA, a MAQUILLO daughter, CANTINERA II (the ‘Queen’ of Spain), a MALVITO
daughter, and KADOFA, granddaughter of MAQUILLO.
This classic cross of the SEANDERICH
line (CONGO, JACIO, TABAL, MARMOL, GEBEL TARIK) and the URSUS line (MALVITO,
MAQUILLO, ZURICH, GHANDHY), the two most influential founding male lines
in Spain, has proven best time and time again. Now, as we are several
generations descended from these founders, we can best utilize their inheritance
through their best proven get and grand get.
One final thanks to this list of outstanding
ancestors must go to KADOFA (ZANCUDO x OCALINA), chestnut1969 YM mare,
purchased by Dave and Molly at an auction of the Yeguada Militar.
In the subsequent years, KADOFA produced four daughters to four stallions
at the Stanley Ranch near Seville, Spain.
These four mares are: *IBERIA (x GEBEL
TARIK), *EFIGIE (x MARMOL), *GALAXIA (x NEGAL), and *JEZABEL SSB +//, (x
*DIAMANTE). All four were Regional Champions in a variety of classes
and disciplines, Pleasure Driving, Informal Combination, Country Pleasure,
Country Pleasure Driving, Show Hack, Hunters, Jumpers, Hunter Pleasure,
Hunt Seat Equitation. Three went on to be US and Canadian National
Champions, *IBERIA, *GALAXIA SSB and *JEZABEL SSB +//. A friend said
“You should put up a statue to KADOFA!”

from people who have seen CZANTIAGO's training video:
WOW ..... Czantiago
has grown from the handsome World Champion
kidlet of 2008 to the alluring tall
young man of late 2010...what a balanced
trot and his canter is to die for...Even
with Cody's 6'2 or is it 6'3
frame? Still carries him great...
Are you going
to go into dressage full time or
into jumping? Or both eventually...hmmmm.
He could go any way because of his
balance...how exciting for you all....
Summer
Molly, he looks SPECTACULAR!
It's amazing to me that after only five rides, with a big rider, he is
so perfectly balanced, free in his shoulder, and underneath himself.
Lisa got some great footage of his extension -- REALLY impressive!
Laurie
Molly, you should be ecstatic
with this horse. I certainly am for you! Thank you for sharing this
video.
Susan
Absolutely stunning!
This colt has it all . . . . beauty, brains (obviously!), ability, and
natural fluidity of movement!
I can't imagine what
this guy will look like in the show ring with a year or two of training
under his belt!
Annie
Hello Czantiago, congratulations,
pretty boy! Nice movement. Good job, Cody Mahoney. Nice encouraging seat
and legs that hold Czantiago in check...within a lovely, fluid. learning
"frame". A pleasure to watch. Thank you for sharing your video, Molly and
Lisa. "Pretty is as pretty does" and here we have beauty 'excelling'.
Greta
Oh Molly, he is so beautiful,
so smooth and so balanced that I could not take my eyes off him, I never
even noticed how big Cody was on him, Czantiago was the only thing I saw..
just love his hind end, and when I saw him under saddle, I had flash backs
of his sire, even with his injured knees, *Granizar had beautiful movement,something
all his foals that I raised had also.. Pascion is a great mare, and I am
still in awe that you chose your best mares to breed to my boy.. the niche
was excellent as Czantiago is truly a horse that will raise the bar and
set the standard for many horses to follow.. seems you definitely got your
dream horse, and I am so very happy that *Granizars blood will continue
through his most elegant son Czantiago..Pascion is worth her weight in
gold..what an incredible broodmare.. best of luck with your special boy..
I have no doubt that he will win more than his share of National titles.
Pattie
Molly - You've always
had nice horses, but tis one is RELLY nice. Beautiful, a lovely mover,
and so well balanced. Congratulations, he should have a phenomenol
future.
Susie
Absolutely love the video.
He sure looks fantastic and can't wait to see where he will go!
Lisa
Molly,
Thank you so much for
sharing this footage. To see a horse being trained so beautifully.
But also the wonderful
horse that he is, a blessing to train.
What a testiment to your
continued breeding for soundness of mind and body.
I do not get a window
into your world all that often.... and..... "be still my heart"!!!
It was wonderful indeed.
Nancy
Dear Molly,
Thank you for sharing
this video with me! Today is the first time I could look at it. It
is a video to be very proud of! It is truly a great endorsement to
Czantiago’s breeding! I watched a young stallion that was accepting and
receptive. Czantiago moved forward with great impulsion and animation with
Cody on his back, a bridle and a bit in his mouth. I am truly amazed that
it was only his 5th time to be ridden. They must have worked a lot with
him on the ground 1st to get the trust that produces that kind of movement
under saddle. Cody rode steadily and appeared very light and balanced in
the saddle. I also saw that he appeared to have a light touch on
the reins. Please pass it along how great I thought they looked together.
I can’t wait to see the next video of Czantiago’s progress.
Congratulations!!!
Kathy
