This colt’s breeding was a gift to us and an example of the cooperation between Rancho de los Cielos and High Country Marchadors (Ronald Knaack). We were thrilled at the opportunity to breed two dedicated picada horses of similar size and exceptional colors. Tricolor paint stallion, Apache, gave Silverado his brilliant red, golden palomino mare Sonadora gave him the gold in his mane and tail. From both, he inherited the smooth picada gait. His temperament is pure sunshine, willing to meet and greet in a sweet, winning way from the day he was born. His father is many times a champion in American competitions, even though he is not very tall for a Marchador. Sonadora’s other foals have all been average or taller by the time they were yearlings. We’re hoping for a special rider for Silverado, someone who appreciates ainiquely willing and loving heart as well a very smooth gait.
