Dam:
Upiki Interagro
Alvarinho’s Dam, Upiki Interagro [Pilatos Interagro x Kipper (SA)] is a
zebra-striped dark buckskin mare. Except for her height, she has the
typical look of the ancient Sorraias, the wild horse of Portugal. Upiki
Interagro has produced five offspring: three Isabels and two buckskins,
Alvarinho being the eldest. Upiki’s dam, Kipper (SA), is one of the ten
top brood mares at Interagro and, with an Interagro progeny of sixteen
to-date, is still active. Her two sons from Kipper, the mare Radagast
Interagro and the stallion Alter Interagro were exported to the U.S., the
latter sold in the 2009 Collection. Tufão Interagro [Nicola (MAC) x
Cyclope (SA)], a beautiful golden-buckskin top stallion, seemed to be
indicated for Upiki Interagro, and the result, Alvarinho Interagro,
exceeded our most optimistic expectations. He is not only beautiful and
unique in his appearance, but also a very functional horse, hard to
describe without being influenced by his presence and charm.

Trainer´s opinion:
In 2009, we were asked, “Where are the Isabel’s?” We did not want to
disappoint you in 2010, so we brought Alvarinho Interagro. This gorgeous,
golden stallion appears far larger than 16.1 hands. Alvarinho Interagro is
extremely intelligent, trainable and calm, but our favorite quality about
him is that he truly loves people. Sporting a charismatic, gregarious
personality, he quickly learned that if he acted like a clown, he would
receive extra attention from all of the riders and staff at Interagro.
Alvarinho Interagro feels he is very important and seems to greatly enjoy
his status, which he demonstrates with confidence and delight. Eager to be
surrounded by people, he will expect nothing less than becoming the center
of his new owner’s world. Alvarinho also responds well to applause and a
few extra carrots. Easy to train because of his self-assurance, this
handsome stallion learned the Spanish walk in a week and also shows great
talent for piaffe, which he can demonstrate inhand. Alvarinho Interagro’s
father is Tufão Interagro, a very important breeding stallion who has
demonstrated his ability to produce size, color, athletic ability and,
most important, good character. Tufão Interagro was the 2008 national
champion in 4th level and was named the 2009 champion in the Junior FEI®
series at the Championship of Dressage between Clubs (CAI). Alvarinho
Interagro, calm on the hack and very well-mannered, loves to perform, but
also tries hard to please. Whether he works in the dressage competition
ring as an exhibition horse or both, he will be a star wherever he goes!
Alvarinho Interagro is well-suited for many riders and will be a joy in
some lucky person’s life!
