About Nicola
(MAC),
see the
Stallion Gallery at the Interagro´s Website.
The dam
Soberba Interagro is by
Legendário do Mirante
and Jutlândia (SA). The latter, by Urco (SA) and Warendorf
(SA), both from the Andrade breeding, is one of the most
important of Interagro’s brood-mares, who, so far, has
produced an offspring of ten, including the great
International Champion, Quinárius Interagro [by Xique
Xique (CI)]. Besides Soberba, the selected group of
Interagro’s brood-mares include the following offspring of
Jutlândia (SA): Pecúnia Interagro [by Yacht (SA)], and, two
younger fillies, Zinha Interagro [by Rocinante Interagro]
and Aglaia Interagro [by Quinio Interagro]. Ximango
Interagro’s offspring: Soberba Interagro; Zeta Interagro (by
Rocinante Interagro) and Bravateira Interagro (by Quinio
Interagro).
Trainer’s
opinion: This beautiful horse could steal your heart
away; riding him is as good as looking at him. He has an
amazing beauty, his face and eye are hard to turn away
from. His color is like gold, dressed with back. He always
looks like he is ready for a back tie event. Riding him
you find he is light, smart and comfortable. He is not as
confident yet as his ½ brother Vândalo Interagro and will
need at this time a more experienced rider. I am confident
with the right program he will become easier and be able
to carry a rider with less experience soon. He worries
sometimes in his canter work and can become strong. He is
not difficult for an experienced rider to regain his
confidence but could be difficult for a rider with less
balance and techniques. He just needs a good program and a
bit more maturity. Overall he is easy to ride. Don’t be
fooled by how he measures, just like his ½ brother Vândalo
Interagro he is big in person. Ximango Interagro and
Vândalo with their uphill frames, big necks and large
muscular bodies, both can carry big or small riders. Don’t
forget the whole Interagro collection is all still growing.
Ximango is very balanced and very comfortable to sit on.
He loves to go out on the hack. He is very sensitive and
forward thinking. Ximango will need a rider that is quiet
and does not cause him to loose his confidence with over
corrections. He really wants to do things right and always
gives his rider the feeling he wants to please. As most
young horses he can become distracted watching what is
going around, but settles back on track quite easily. You
will never be forgotten riding this beautiful Lusitano. He
needs to be in a training program so he can grow up a bit
more before he will be ready for a less experienced rider.
