Foals Coming Soon
Last year we bred two mares for the Corolla offsite breeding program. Persa, the mother of Huskinaw shown above, is bred to Croaotan. and Swimmer is bred to Wanchese. They will likely foal in August.
Both foals are like to be spectacular and both foals will be eligible for placement through the offsite breeding program. As pure Colonial Spanish horses they are eligible for registration in the Horse of the Americas Registry and as "o" class Spanish horses in the American Indian horse Registry. The Corollas are among the oldest and rarest distinct genetic grouping of American Horse. They are on the bring of extinction. If the wild herd, which only numbers around 120 horses, goes under the only thing preventing the extinction of these super horses is the off site breeding program.
These horses are strong, sturdy, very healthy, easy keepers. They are comfortable to ride and,though pony sized, they carry my 220 pound frame with absolutely no difficulty. Their endurance is legendary. They are the easiest horses to train with whom I have ever worked.
In short, they are the perfect family and trail horse. They have been here for 500 hundred years. It would be profoundly immoral if they went extinct through our neglect.
Contact me to learn how to obtain one of these great horses for the off site breeding program.
