Breeding To Our Stallions:Saving Yesterday's Horses For Tomorrow's Rider's
There is a very easy way to get a first rate horse and to increase awareness of several nearly extinct strains of historic Colonial Spanish Horses. Crossing our stallions with modern breed mares has produced several first rate horses. These crosses are not used in the Corolla offsite breeding program because we do not allow any modern horse blood in that conservation effort.
However, breeding to modern mares has produced a string of beautiful, athletic, gentle natured horses perfect for the trail and as family horses. Nearly all offspring from our stallions can be registered with the American Indian Horse Registry.
We do not emphasize breeding to outside mares but this can be a great way to go with the right mare. Here are pictures of a horses from these crosses.
