Jewel of the Sierra Andalusian

I grew up on a ranch in Montana where horses were valued and well loved. My Grandfather was a true cowboy that had years of experience training horses in the beautiful West Fork area near Darby Montana. My grandfather instilled in me a love for horses that continues to thrive in my heart. After I finished college, I sold my last quarter horse mare, Sierra, and moved to Carson City, NV, where I currently teach 8th grade English. While living in Carson City, I met a Spaniard named Carlos Mendeguia. He took me to Spain to meet his family and to celebrate our friends wedding. I will never forget that trip! Spain is a beautiful and thrilling country with endless things to offer. While there we attended several festivals and bull fights. I was stunned when I saw the first Andalusian stallion enter the ring. What a magnificent creature! I knew at that moment that I would not be content until I had an Andalusian of my own. I married Carlos and later began my search for the Andalusian horse for me. I found Bocelli. Bocelli began his life in Canada with a wonderful owner, Jill Marie Lane. He had just won several titles at the Canadian Nationals, and had been imported to the US under the care of Warren Mather and Amber Lentz near LA. When I saw him in person, I was awestruck, he was everything I had been looking for. I knew he was the one for me. I have never owned a horse with a personality like Bocelli's. He is sensitive and well attuned to the people that interact with him. Bocelli is an exceptional stallion that possesses both beauty and intellect. He has proven to be a quick learner in the dressage arena and shows unlimited potential for future dressage endeavors. Bocelli is spirited, playful, and exemplifies the best qualities associated with the PRE horse breed.

Bocelli was revised by ANCEE at the Jackass Mountain Ranch in Pasco, Washington in April 2008. He is DNA tested EEAA. He is registered with ANCEE, the PRE Mundial, and IALHA. I look forward to our future together as horse and rider.
