Introducing “Argento Vivo” (“Ares”), a gray PRE (Pura Raza Espanol) Andalusian colt born July 26, 2015. He is a tall, conformationally correct colt who will finish 16+ hands. Like both his parents, he displays a lovely balanced canter and an exceptional temperament that make him an exciting prospect for the future for amateurs and professionals alike. He is registered with IALHA (North America), including microchip, and registration with ANCCE (Spain) is underway. Ares was sired by the grey stallion Alano HPF (Barbian VIII/Regalado II): http://www.aragonandalusians.com/pages/stallion.php out of our lovely bay PRE mare, Coriana M (Hilandero X/Invasor III).
