CONGRATULATIONS to Patricia and Ed of Stockton, California, on their purchase of the beautiful Straight Spanish beauty, CASTALANA BRAHIM (*Sidi-Brahim x *Galana I). Patricia has been attending our annual HAPPY HORSE DAY here at Los Acres for the past two years, always loving CASTALANA! A first time horse owner, now rides CASTALANA in her Classical Riding lessons with *Joao - smiling the entire time!

CONGRATULATIONS to Kerry Sullivan, and her wonderful friend Greg! Owners of the bay Half Arabian/Half Lusitano MARSIDIA (*Precioso DuTop x Bint Brahim, by *SIDI-BRAHIM). This powerful moving, sweet mare is so lucky! MARSIDIA foaled a wonderful bay colt, EL CORDOBES, who will be a future Bullfighting horse - and also a wonderful riding horse (along with his mother Marsidia) for both Kerry and Greg!

CONGRATULATIONS to Mary Deem and her husband Bob, on purchasing our SIDBISCUIT (*Sidi-Brahim x WN Blu Flame). "Biscuit" has been trained by *Joao SerraCoelho, and is as sweet as he is pretty ridden! Mary, daughter of the precious Irene Deem, will enjoy her life with this horse partner.

CONGRATULATIONS to Fern and MaryAnn Simoneau on their purchase of the beautiful grey classic filly, SIDI-AMOUR. AMOUR won their hearts! While MaryAnn was taking Classical Riding Lessons from *Joao, the beautiful 2 year old filly watched from her stall. AMOUR is sired by our love, *SIDI-BRAHIM, and out of the bay beauty daughter of Dream Quest, MI AMORCITA. We are so excited for MaryAnn, Fern, and AMOUR!

CONGRATULATIONS Our family is happy to congratulate the wonderful Kerry Sullivan on her purchase of the black beauty LUSIDTANIA  (*Notavel x Gretta Garbo).  "Lusi" is a special mare, and now owned by a special "cousin" of ours!  Her sire is a handsome Black Lusitano Bullfighting stallion imported from Brazil by Eduardo Costa of Los Banos.  Her dam is a Straight Spanish *Sidi-Brahim daughter beauty too.  This rare combination of blood touched the heart of Kerry, and was totally won over by Lusi!  We wish you both much happiness for a long life together.

CONGRATULATIONS to the Lee Family!  What lucky horses both FATIMA BRAHIM (*Sidi-Brahim x Fatima Ala Bahr), a 2 year old grey beauty of our favorite cross, and the young colt PRESIDENTE FOX (Presidente Polk x Magic of Sid)!  "FOX" was Presidente Polk's first son and was born on Cinco de Mayo, so of course we had to name him PRESIDENTE FOX!  When the young daughter, Tanith, first saw FOX, she had to have him!  Wonderful people and wonderful horses!
