Aliantro GA - Lineage
Son of Multi Champion Stallion Altanero D, imported stallion from Spain by Sweet Medicine Bandera. Lineage tracing back to the legendary Bay Military Maluso lines.
Aliantro GA is a foundation Stallion for the Spanish-Norman breed. According to the Spanish-Norman Registry there are only 71 Stallions that meet the specific requirements of a Spanish-Norman horse having at least 50% Andalusian blood. Aliantro possesses outstanding presence and class. His temperment, intelligence, conformation, and athletic abilities are qualities he got from his sire. He passes those sought after qualities onto his foals. Aliantro does carry the bay gene and throws consistent 60% bays on his mares, even on gray mares.
August 2002, Aliantro competed in his first Andalusian show, the Northwest Andalusian Horse Association's Annual "Festival of the Andalusian", held every year in Puyallup, WA. Aliantro took the Prestigious Senior Andalusian Stallion Championship. At the IALHA Nationals in Ft. Worth, TX (October 2002), Aliantro placed a respectable third in the Senior Spanish Stallions Specialty Class, judged by the honorable Juan Llamas Perdigo of Spain, acclaimed expert and author, with a 74.5% in the Functionality Test - the equivalent of 1st level Dressage, and a 73.5% in the Conformation Class. Prior to 2004, Aliantro had been showing in the hunter/jumper ring for over 5 years and has been very successful, placing in the top 5 every time and in the money. He has extreme power from behind for jumping and very light and tight up front.
Aliantro's sire, Altanero D, was imported from Spain by the famous Denham Ranch in Texas. Altanero D was the 2000 IALHA National Champion in Dressage Suitability, and also won numerous IALHA Regional halter championships. Altanero D is known throughout California, as well as nationally, for his incredible disposition and his beautiful "alta escuela" exhibitions. Altanero has excelled in Western, English, Dressage, and Alta Escuela (High School Dressage).
