Keberes, aka "Leia" is the horse of a lifetime.  She stands 16.2 hds tall with a striking stallion presence and is unbelievably intelligent. As far as a breeding mare, this is one of the most pre-potent mares I've ever seen. She consistently puts her height and substance into her foals. Having won Champion Jr. Spanish Mare against a Spanish Judge, Keberes is an IALHA National Champion. Her first daughter by Remate, Destinada DD, also won this award as a Champion Jr. Spanish filly.

When Keberes was inspected and approved in 2000, the Spanish team told the breeder "This is not a horse that you sell" and said that Keberes was "magnifico" or magnificent.

I began training Keberes when she was a young mare and was soon going on trail rides with her and showing at the National level. Keberes has been shown at local schooling shows and at multiple disciplines at IALHA Nationals. Once I discovered Keberes' aptitude for trick training, she quickly became an eBay "star" - her trick training tapes sold world-wide. I don't know of any other Spanish mare that is so well-rounded and also throws such incredible foals.

Speaking of which, Keberes' foals are in high demand. I'm often contacted by people looking for "Keberes like" horses and unfortunately I have to tell them they are not for sale or are sold out years in advance. Even Keberes' grand-offspring are tightly guarded.

If you are wanting "one of these" - you had better get in line! Or look toward a future offspring out of Galaxia, Keberes' superb daughter owned by Spanish Vision Farm.

Color: Keberes is a Silver Grey. She is heterozygous grey and can produce non-grey foals that are chestnut, bay, or black. Her genotype per UC Davis is ee Aa. Keberes has a dark muzzle and dark skin around her face and eyes. She was born a light brownish/reddish color and had dark points as a yearling and almost looked buckskin. She dappled out as a buckskin/grey young mare and eventually turned silver white with an iridescent sheen. Both Keberes' parents were grey, but Granadino and Botadora's lines had a history of producing black, chestnut, and bay.
