Samba
2008 Half Andalusian filly (registered IAHLA)
By Altanero D (Andalusian) out of Baja
(ABRA-registered Quarter Horse mare)
$5,000
Samba was foaled on June 16, 2008. Samba was born
a buckskin color, complete with primitive dun-factor
markings including zebra stripes on her legs,
black-rimmed ears, a dorsal stripe, and dark shading on
her shoulders and face.
But then she began to turn gray, like her fabulous sire,
Altanero D (below). After many color changes, we're
finally beginning to see her real color, which will
eventually be true grey. She currently still has a little
tawny hair mixed with the blue-grey, giving her an
unusual pearly buckskin coloration. She has also
recently developed dapples over her forequarters. And
she still has the dorsal stripe!
The overall impression of Samba's conformation is one
of balance, harmony and proportion. She has the
muscular hindquarters of her Quarter Horse dam. With
these powerful hindquarters and her compact frame, she
should be capable of a high degree of collection. She
has an expressive, elegant head and neck.
Her conformation clearly shows the influence of her
Andalusian sire. She has small ears, a refined head, a
short back and a rounded croup with a low-set,
tucked-in tail. Her legs are simply perfect, with the
dainty, yet strong, sound feet typical of Iberian horses.
She has already begun to grow a luxurious amount of
mane and tail hair.
Samba has lovely eyes -- up close, it appears she's
wearing heavy eyeliner, like an Egyptian pharaoh! She
has a remarkably sweet, trusting and compliant nature,
and it is reflected in her kind eyes.
This summer, Samba is 3 years old, and stands 15.2H.
Her dam is 14.2H, and her sire is 15.3H, so she's
probably near her maximum size.
Samba's under-saddle training has begun this summer.
She's learning ground-school tasks as well as learning
to carry herself in balance while longing.
She's handled daily with kindness and consideration,
and she likes and trusts human beings. When she meets
someone new, she asks to be scratched on her chest and
throat. She has learned that the approach of humans
means pleasant things -- treats, grooming and
interesting games.
We foresee a future in English and Western Pleasure, as
well as dressage and versatility classes, for this elegant
mare.

owned by Shanna Goodpasture,
Goodpasture Andalusians, Elk Grove, CA.
Altanero D is a 21-year-old Cria Caballar-approved
National Champion Pura Raza Espaniola (PRE) stallion.
This Grand Prix stallion demonstrates his versatility and
athleticism by excelling in the show ring in western,
English, and Alta Escuela (High School) dressage. He
passes along his kind temperament and tons of hair to all
his offspring.
With his dreamy looks, it's not hard to imagine him as a
guest performer at horse shows and exhibitions,
demonstrating haute ecole dressage movements, and in
fact, he performs at venues all over the United States at
an age when many show horses have retired. This bodes
well for the soundness and longevity of his offspring.
Altanero D is also a "cover boy" -- his image has been
used extensively in calendars, greeting cards and other
publications.
