Festivo's fantastic dressage traits in combination with our lovely multi-national champion movement mare, SA Luna, were bound to be a winning combination, we were not disappointed with the foal. Elara has the size of her sire and the movement of both parents- massive, engaged movement that looks so effortless. We look forward to her future as a dressage horse!

Festivo’s main bloodline is Yeguada Militar through Lebrijano III on both the dam and sire’s side. Lebrijano is one of the most important stallions in PRE breeding history for producing horses that excel in dressage. Festivo’s sire is the famous Academico VII, and his grandsire is Lego – both Qualified stallions. Festivo’s dam is a Lebrijano III offspring and Paco Lazo. In the third line is the famous Escalera dressage stallion Vinatero III, bred by the Miura family. Vinatero III sired countless movement winners, and was one of the best bullfighting stallions ever produced in Spain.
