The Ranch
Mangalarga Marchadors first came to the U.S. through the auspices of some Brazilian families (like the Guerra’s of Miami), who brought their own horses over in the 1990’s. Importation proceeded as the breed became known for the quantum leap in athleticism and talent that these horses provide over other trail horses and gaited breeds. At about 15H and 1100 lbs, they are larger than most South American gaited breeds.
