Bloodlines
Adentro and Leviton Crosses
This is one of several articles that explain the bloodlines behind our
breeding program. My mare Keberes D is a daughter of
Granadino XI 1978 by Leviton.
You can see how closely Leviton and Adentro show up in her pedigree below.
Adentro, a bay Spanish stallion, was born in 1959, sired by Juglar out of
Sena. He had 72 offspring and 108 siblings (by either sire or dam). Adentro was
bred by the Yeguada Militar de Jerez de la Frontera.
Leviton, also bred by the Yeguada Militar de Jerez de la Frontera, was born
in 1970. He had 173 offspring and 93 siblings.
As you can see in their pedigrees, Adentro and Leviton's dams were both sired
by Estepeno. Many horses with military breeding will show both Adentro and
Leviton in their pedigrees. Most of the military horses go directly back
to the Bocado brand breeding (see the "H" in the pedigree which is
representative of a bit or bocado). Bocado horses are also known as Carthusian
and were a special bloodline saved from extinction by the monks during the
French invasion. Also known as "Cartujano" horses, Cartujanos are an important
part of the preservation of the breed as they are thought to be one of the
purist lines of old Spanish blood.

Horses Related to Adentro and Leviton
By looking at pedigrees and photos of horses with bloodlines
similar to the ones you are breeding, you will begin to see family traits and
resemblances. This research, if done correctly, can confirm that you are going
in the "right" direction. This is especially important if you are breeding for
heritage and breed preservation.
For example, Hermoso VIII was a stallion who
was sired by Leviton and was out of a mare (Hermosa VIII) who was sired by Adentro.
Hermoso VIII as bred by Miguel Garcia Dieguez Lopez. This farm in Spain was the
location of where several Denham horses were imported from, including
Granadino
XI 1978. As you can see from Granadino's and Hermoso's pedigrees, they are
almost full brothers. The only difference is that
Granadino's dam was Granadina
VII and Hermoso's dam was Hermosa VIII. However, Granadina VII and Hermosa VIII
were full sisters and sired by Adentro.
Hermoso VIII (the nearly full brother to
Granadino XI 1978) produced a mare named Encantadora XXIII and here is her photo as
well as several other daughters of Hermoso VIII.

Adentro)

The Adentro/Juglar/Sena bloodline is fairly rare outside of
Spain. It can be found via
Granadino XI and Aragones III in the U.S. Denham Ranch
lines and in Australia.
