His second foal, Primorosa, a filly off Quirica, who will stay at Foreside and join our breeding program.

A Noble Stallion with incredible gentleness,a trait of his Royal bloodlines. Impecably behaved covering in hand. A good stallion for maiden mares. Can run with compatible mares dependant on temperament.

CARTHUSIAN STALLIONS

 We currently have Golondrino XX and Macetero IX, both Carthusian PRE Andalusian Stallions. To read more about them, click on their names below, or on their photos above, to go to their pages.

NATURAL LIFE

Here at Foreside, we try to give our PRE Stallions as natural life as we can. They get daily turnout where they can see all the other horses around them. They graze and can stretch their legs to their hearts content.
Luckily, both boys have shown their noble and gentle spirits, and both have a mare companion.
Stallions so often lead artificial lives in solitary, we here at Foreside try to redress the balance while staying safe for all concerned.

ANCIENT BREED
The Andalusian breed is truly ancient, and it's noble strength and gentleness is the stuff of legend. Trouble is, once you've owned one, or experienced the floating gracefulness under saddle, you'll be spoiled for anything else. 
Their stud book goes back unbroken, to the 15th Centuary. 
The oldest stud book in the world!

BREEDING

Available for both PRE Apto registered mares, and for producing Part Bred foals, these boys are offering an opportunity for mare owners to produce spectacular foals with ancestories that go back into the mists of time. Jelously guarded by the Carthusian monks at great perl for centuaries, then taken into control of the Spanish Military who made it illegal to export PRE stock from Spain till the laws relaxed in the 1980's. Even now, the slightest mistake or suspicion can leave an eligble PRE cut off from entry into the Spanish State Stud Book for itself and all its progeny. 

GRADING
Strict Grading Procedures by the representatives from Spain are done at 3 years of age. Failure on many points including conformation and temperament, incurs a life long ban. Only a Veterinary Surgeon recognised and liscenced by the Spanish government, can fill in the passports and take the blood for DNA testing in Seville for PRE foals.

FALLING IN LOVE

Once you have met this breed, you will understand why the Spanish hold on so tightly. It was this very passion that has preserved the purity of arguably the most beautiful horse of all time.Used to improve many breeds we are familiar with today, the andalusian can bring its unsurpassed elegance to its part bred progeny.
Please feel free to call to arrange a visit, it would be our pleasure to introduce you to the boys.
