(Portentoso V x Galeona HA)

Avalon Farms' first black Andalusian is a filly from Galeone, our bay mare, purchased in 1999.

Brave hearted and sweet tempered. With powerful hindquarters and the Andalusian's natural ability to collect and turn, Maria Elena exhibits the bullfighing agility so prized in Spain. She also has intelligence to match her athletic prowess.

IMaria, born in May, 1999, is Pure Spanish and one of the few Pure Paco Lazo horses in the country. Her breeding is heavily Terry. She is black with only a few white hairs on her forehead. Her coat will sunbleach if not protected in the summer.

Maria has the classic build movement of the working Spanish horse with a powerful backend and the natural ability to turn and collect. Maria has been CRIA approved.

Governor Eduardo Bours of the State of Sonora, Mexico is her owner.
