Soberbio XII

Soberbio XII is an 8 year old Pura Raza Espanol (Andalusian) stallion imported from Barcelona, Spain in 2004 by Muriel Chestnut, of Oro Station, Ontario, Canada.

Bred for Dressage, Soberbio is a dream horse! He not only possesses the finest bloodlines of any Andalusian stallion in Canada, he is an outstandingly beautiful horse! He stands 16.2 HH and is rare Mahogany Bay, of which only 15% of Andalusians are.

Soberbio has impeccable manners and impresses everyone with his kindness and excellent behaviour in all circumstances. His beautiful movement and elegant carriage attract attention where ever he goes! Some performances and demonstrations of his have included fourteen, twice daily performances of "Hippike", a 30 minute theatrical show put on as part of the Canadian National Exhibition in 2008, Can-Am Horse Extravaganza in 2009, "The Peruvian Horse Festival" 2009 and various other local shows.

Soberbio is a breeding stallion and has thirteen foals on the ground of superior quality. Muriel and Soberbio have been studying Natural Horsemanship for 3 years now and both enjoy playing at liberty for a crowd. Soberbio is truly "one in a million" and is Muriel's Equine soul-mate, and horse partner for life!

Muriel is excited to have Soberbio's two sons at home who will be joining their father in the future with Muriel's two daughters in the saddle - the Chestnuts are "keeping it in the family"!! Please feel free to contact Muriel regarding breeding to this lovely stallion or coaching/lessons available both on your own horse or Soberbio - he's a dressage schoolmaster! - feel Piaffe and Passage on this boy and you'll never forget it! www.chestnutequestrian.com

Congratulations to Soberbio for being our November 30, 2009 Horse of the Week!
