Fuego is a golden rarity, only a handful of PRE in the world are this colour. He was bred by small boutique Yeguada IPA, Spanish home of the PRE dun colour gene.
Following a month long trip to Spain and Portugal viewing and riding over 50 stallions; Fuego was chosen based on his X-factor, rideability, connection and the fire smouldering under his calm and gentle personality. Dun colour (plus cream) was a bonus, not discovered until he had arrived in NZ and his ‘stripes’ were questioned, followed by testing.
Fuego’s attributes consist of being medium height, compact, well muscled, a powerful and uphill mover, agile and intelligent bull-fighting type. He rides much bigger than he is with lots of push-off-the-ground thrust and elevation. Fuego has a very gentle and wise temperament, kind and generous eye. With feet hard as flint he is ridden barefoot. Fuego tunes into his rider so much he is ridden off a thought, responsive and light as a feather.
Trained and competed to PSG level dressage, including competed at PSG by a young rider in Spain.
His bloodlines are predominantly Bocado (Carthusian) infused with functional Military blood, with a very strong Calificado dam line based on Yeguada Miguel-Romero and including the pre-potent sire Beleno III. On his sire’s side are both the famous powerful Paco Marti buckskin Carmelo II and renowned blood of Salinero III.
