Esmeralda arrived at our stud in early December 2010 from Debbie Gallety of Alma Vista Stud, Queensland and is yet another example of the beautiful type of mares bred with the genetics of this stud.

Tara Esmeralda is by Almatelo (Militario x Manuka Mistica) out of Delamere (Dacio III x Gofa Twilight) and just 6 years of age. We managed to get her to NZ on the only IRT flight that goes to Christchurch a year and she arrived in early December 2010, settling in very well and making friends with Briosa as her new paddock mate.
The decision to add Esmeralda to our young mare herd was based on her bloodlines, giving us yet another great combination of Dacio III bloodlines and those of Militario and Hortelano VII via Manuka Mistica. Esmeralda's sire, Almatelo is the full brother to Alma Velador who is the sire of our stallion Alma Director. Esmeralda is also closely related to Alondra XXIX via both parents.

Esmeralda is the forth horse that we aquired from Alma Vista and we thank Debbie for her confidence in our operation.

Esmeralda has a beautiful, kind and gentle temperament and has settled in well, sharing the paddock with our other young mare Briosa.
