During a visit to Catalonia in Spain, specifically to look at horses and visit breeders in that area, Sr. Bucio became acquainted with the breeder Fernando Pique Llussa. This meeting has proven to be fateful. Sr. Bucio had been searching for a Stallion that would enhance the great strength of his mare herd. Not an easy task as the specifics were all encompassing. The needs were; Racial type and beauty, movement (emphasizing 3 true gaits of the dressage horse) tractable and intelligent. The mares of Andaurora are large round and aggressively Spanish; Sr. Bucio wanted to add a little refinement to his offspring but hold the extraordinary traits that have propelled these mares to success.
The Pura Raza Español Stallion/Semental, Nenufar XIII was the answer. Imported from Spain and Bred by the celebrated Catalonian breeder Fernando Pique Llussa – Yeguada Pique Angel.
Nenufar primarily represents Yeguada Militar lines and is the son of the Qualified/Calificado Stallion Senado of the Military brand. Nenufar XIII was approved in 2009 by LGPREANCCE. He is 16.0hh, as a young 3year old and a rich red bay colour. He has incredible beauty and quite extraordinary movement. He is extremely athletic, and blessed with a noble and intelligent temperament.
He will be not be available to outside mares in 2009. We will reassess for 2010 and if at that time we offer his services he will be available to mares that have been pre-approved. His bookings will be limited; concessions will be made for multiple breedings and mares of type and movement.
Nenufar XIII will be bred to the majority of our mares in 2009 (most are offspring of our Stallion Gavilan IV). We are exceedingly excited to introduce our 2010 foal crop. We are greatly invested in this young Stallion/Semental and after careful consideration …we should be!
Yeguada Pique Angel: We were delighted to present this young Stallion to Sr. Bucio and more deeply impressed by his acceptance of this horse as a future. We were fortunate to visit and observe Sr. Bucio’s Mare herd and believe that NenufarXIII will provide a strong positive influence on the offspring of his mares.
