RECENT PHOTOS OF LIFE AT THE STUDFARM AND ANY CURRENT NEWS OF INTEREST
2011
Magno VI has provided the MARYSS Stud with many lovely foals over the past 9 years and the Stud has kept 4 of his daughters. At present we have no more mares to breed to him so rather than waste his fabulous bloodlines he has been sold to The Spanish Stud, Wokingham. He has settled there very well and is back in ridden work and loving it. Now he has a new selection of lovely mares to which he can be bred, ad I am looking forward to seeing his foals at the Spanish Stud in the future.
VERITE SOLD to become Nadia's future riding, showing, and competition mare. Many thanks to Fiona Foy for her assistance in this sale, Verite is the perfect choice.
TIGRE SOLD to Tralissa PRE Stud in Wales - for breeding, showing and riding. September 2011.
Delighted that you chose Tigre for your second Stud Stallion - I look forward to seeing him mature in your care and to visiting you to see his foals in the years to come.

A beautiful misty sunrise just after 8am over the frozen fields of the studfarm. I didn't get my camera out fast enough to catch the moon setting on the 20th but the next day I was prepared and the second photo shows the huge full moon setting over the northwest hedgerow of the farm. Something I have never seen like this before.

PINTURERO P II ARRIVES - I am delighted to announce the arrival of our latest stallion prospect. Although just a year old he already stands 15.2hh or more,
and has fabulous movement. He is a lovely irridescent bay, carrying black and chestnut genes and the very rare PEARL gene.
He is from a different lineage to the stud's other Pearl carrier, Valoria (see her new photos on Mare page), so they will be bred together as soon as Pinturero is old enough.
CAMINO XI - Latest news is that he has THREE mares in foal for 2011, MARYSS LINDEZA, MARYSS LUCIA , & VALORIA. We are very pleased with him in every way. See his latest photo on his NEW STALLION PAGE
Last foal for 2010 arrived on 20th August - a BLACK COLT now named MARYSS URAEUS - Uraeus is the name of the Egyptian symbol of divinity/royalty.
He is a very friendly and lively fellow and loves to run rings around his mother, Ofelia.

CAMINO's First In-Foal mare confirmed - Maryss Lindeza. Fingers crossed for a buckskin next May/June.
Mid -June
CAMINO XI has started his career as a breeding stallion and aquitted himself very well in his new job.
He is both enthusiastic and sensible which is an excellent combination for a young stallion.
I am looking forward to a lovely bunch of golden buckskin and rich treacle toffe coloured foals next year.
