We at Daitan Equestrian are so proud and excited to announce the acquisition of arguably one of the most premier imported Spanish mares to Australia:
SENI ZURDA (imp. Spain)
ANCEE PRE APTA MARE – Pura Raza Espanola
Seni Indio x Seni-Riojana I
Guapo-Seni II | India XI | Lebrijano III
Currently in foal to Joyero JR III (imp. Spain) for an October 2024 foal.
After a long and extensive search across Australia and New Zealand for a PRE mare, we have finally found ‘the one’! For months, I have been speaking with breeders and owners all over both countries, analysing pedigree’s, heights, ages and just couldn’t find quite the right match for us until Seni Zurda came along. I knew instantly she was perfect for us, and it was a very easy decision to make.
SENI ZURDA boasts Yeguada Senillosa and Escalera lines. Yeguada Senillosa is a Spanish stud known for producing horses that excel in movement, functionality and dressage. SENI ZURDA, a mare of exceptional breeding, conformation and movement, was imported as a young filly from this stud. SENI ZURDA has produced excellent Spanish type offspring, owing to her strong genetics.
The lines of SENI ZURDA are heavily influenced by Maria Fernanda Escalera de la Escalera and Jose Luis de la Escalera. MACAUNO, a son of LEBRIJANO III, is present six times throughout the lines of SENI ZURDA. LEBRIJANO III is a highly influential stallion in PRE breeding history. He is known for producing horses that excel in dressage, and is the grandsire of imported stallion JOYERO JF III. LEBRIJANO III is also the sire of Spanish Olympic stallions INVASOR II and the grandsire of FUEGO DE CARDENAS. The dam of MACAUNO was twice the SICAB Champion of Spain mare for morphology and movement.
Adding to the pedigree, SENI ZURDA (imp.) shares the same sire as the incredible ULISES DE YMAS who is competing highly successfully at CDI5* Grand Prix in the USA with consistent podium wins and scores and is a shining ambassador in Dressage for the PRE. What a pedigree!
SENI ZURDA (imp.) is one of the most decorated Spanish mares in Australia, having won numerous Supreme, National, State, and Royal Championships in hand and under saddle. She was professionally ridden by an Australian FEI rider and performed exceptionally well in official dressage competitions. SENI ZURDA is trained to medium levels, exhibiting precise flying changes.
The pairing of JOYERO JF III (imp.) and SENI ZURDA (imp.) is expected to produce an international quality foal, right here in Australia. Known for their calm and trainable characters, faultless conformation, height and powerhouse movement, this pairing will continue the strong genetics on both sides for functionality and dressage.
SENI ZURDA’s foal in utero is for sale. Due 18th October. She will then be put into foal to our CORTESANO RT (Imp. Spain) for an incredible PRE purpose bred for Dressage.
We are so excited about this acquisition. With direct fully imported linage carefully selected, SENI ZURDA’s current impending foal and planned breeding’s there on, will ensure that classical Spanish dressage lines will infiltrate Australia direct from Spain, without the import costs.
Thank you to Victoria Davies - Paralympian from Tora V stud for giving us this wonderful opportunity. We know how difficult it was for you to let this beautiful girl go. We can’t wait to meet her soon!
