Caravagio is an extremely athletic son of the esteemed stallion Gazal al Shaqab and out of a stunning, correct, big moving, daughter of QR Excel.  He is a great opportunity to breed to a stallion with the elegance, type, and reliable genetic heritage of the most esteemed lines of classic Arabian horses while also obtaining the size, bone, and movement needed to win in the sport horse disciplines. Many people have commented on seeing Caravagio that he would be a great candidate to attend the stallion inspections  of the major warmblood registries, due to his huge shoulder, beautiful movement for dressage, and correct form over fences. 

Caravagio has been pinned champion or reserve sport horse stallion at a variety of shows, including being pinned Reserve Regional Champion Stallion, ATH, at the 2013 Region 7 Championship show. More importantly, he demonstrated a very professional work ethic and the naturally kind and unflappable attitude necessary in a successful sire of performance horses. Although he is showing at the lower levels as he acquires more miles, he has shown a natural aptitude for piaffe and passage, canter pirouettes, and changes. 

We have a small herd of high quality, young, mares for breeding, with a focus on Dutch warmbloods. All of our current mares are also performance horses or prospects. We believe that, in breeding horses for sport, it is important for both parents to demonstrate their suitability as riding horses, rather than just the sire. All of our horses are primarily ridden by an amateur and are "amateur friendly". When you buy a foal from Ranchito Libertad, we can guarantee than it comes from a well-socialized mare with a good disposition, and that your foal has been handled almost daily, including being clipped, bathed, and having regular trimming. We will also work with you to ensure that you purchase a young horse with the right disposition to suit your needs, whether professional or amateur. Our mares can be viewed in detail on the Mares page, but here is an overview:
