Miaventura's Pedigree

Miaventura
May 2008

Miaventura is a full Colombian Foundation Bred mare with impeccable old champion lines in her pedigree. She is a Lunares granddaughter, and carries lines to Belmonte, Dulzura que tal, Hilachas, Salpicada, Resorte III, Guala, Rosada, El Capricho, Consentida and Singer. Gracewood Farm acquired Mia as a broodmare in late 2005.

Also, Mia is riding the woodland trails and open rural areas with her owner Lynn Gallup.

Mia has produced two foals previously from top Classic Fino stallions -- a dun filly and a chestnut colt. She stands at 14.1 hands. She has been shown successfully before in Pleasure Mares winning her class, and also competed at the Paso Fino Grand National Show in Pleasure Mares.

In late 2007, Mia started giving beginner youth riders horsemanship lessons for students.

Broodmare Record: Miaventura has produced a chestnut Paso Fino colt by Tobias de Ocho and a zebra dun filly (deceased) by Resplandor Tres.

Paso Fino Color Factor: Mia's paternal grandsire Lunares is a known zebra dun producer. Mia's sire, though listed as chestnut before he grayed, has produced 41% buckskin and dun registered PFHA offspring. Mia's dam is black, with both of Mia's maternal grandsire and granddam being black. So strong dun and grulla prospects are in order crossed on Emperador.

The Future: We are excited about Miaventura as a new Gracewood Farm's and seeing her future offspring from our breeding program with Emperador La Estrella. Also, Mia is a being trained as a Gracewood lead line and beginner student horsemanship lesson mount.

Emperador and Mia greet for the first time November 6, 2005.
