BC Santino Adelmo (Santino) is the first stallion born into the resurrected breeding program of the Baca strain. His dam is 50% rare Belsky line and sire is 100% Baca, a small and unique strain from New Mexico.
His soft and kind eye represents his true character; calm, friendly, curious, and intelligent. His relaxed and easy-going personality allows him to live with a herd of geldings and be handled by children. He’s been started under saddle and ridden out on trails after his first few rides and his willingness to learn makes him very easy to train. He has substantial bone and is naturally well balanced, with strong Spanish type movement. He will be an ambassador for the breed as a performance horse in dressage and Working Equitation.
Santino has been successfully collected numerous times and has frozen semen stored, to be used specifically for strengthening the gene pool of the Baca strain. In 2020 he sired his first offspring, a Grullo filly via A.I. fresh semen. Santino’s semen has been tested to be of exceptional quality with high motility rates pre and post-thaw. Consideration for preservation-minded breeding to qualified mares of other lines will be considered.
