I'm doing a small study ± or Diorama, the mother of Labriego ... and I would ask your help with the information I can provide n this mare ...

I think Diorama is a eslabà ³ n very important for our race and has influenced muchÃsimo the Paso Fino modern trava © s of your child ... For example, eat º nmente found crossing Labriego with their daughters, or between two brothers, Labriego with Labriego ... is important to note that with each inbreeding or linebreeding to Labriego, we are actually doing an inbreeding or linebreeding Cialito's blood and that loads Labriego Diorama ... to Cialito many knew him and his lineage is well documented ... but,  Wha Diorama nto know?

It really is very little information you may know, for sure, on this horse ... If we start with its pedigree, the first thing we notice are the many lakes found in à © l ...


pedigree de Diorama

In addition to Labriego s, we know that Diorama was (at least) four other children:
(1) SerranÃa by Calipso Jr.
(2) Missionary, by Labriego
(3) tillage, for Labriego
(4) other male foal, also © n by Labriego, who died of tea © tano

The intersection of Labriego with SerranÃa, a inbreeding 2x Diorama three full sisters ... one is Serenade of the Oaks, the mother of Don Cholito and Guarachera of the Oaks ... and although I think Serenata is the only one that has competed, I have commented all three are of high quality mares ...

Missionary leaves no ³ descent (I know) ... and Tillage pariah up four times: (1) a colt Labriego, who died very young, (2) a mare of Auditors Clear, which was in Jayuya (I think it died, but I able to confirm), (3) a horse son of Pride of Barranquitas, and (4) Design a faithful mare ± o ...

In an Attempt, Frank Delgado told me Diorama and The Razor (a horse riding Minan) was the same mare ... but this information n has not been confirmed ... I have not been able to obtain much information n on The Razor, except that it was a mare of movement and fiery rapids ...

You see, there are many questions we can ask about Diorama ... A Do How was your phenotype? ... Â what your mechanic unique? ... Â Was Quick start ... thin or raised ... cut or displaced? ... A Do tenÃa brao ? ... Â Is there a picture of it? ... Â did his granddaughters (daughters of Labriego), there is some that is â € € œrepresentativaâ Diorama? ...

Spectacular Tura n (x Mirinda Spectacular) is another horse that many people overlook ... but à © l is the father of the extraordinary mare Sensational Spectacular ...

Another horse interesting is Eclipse Zaphiro (Zaphiro x Fireside) ... a horse majestic, much brao and that besides s good feet, has a phenotype excellent ... if I remember correctly, Eclipse has been a Grand champion n both Paso Fino Ways Fine as the Federation ...

The line of El Duende was recognized, among other things, for good post ... unfortunately, this has almost entirely lost ... but what few know is that todavÃa is a direct son of El Duende, is called ... and besides Kofiro s, by his mother has Kofresà Cupid, a daughter of Kofresà in a full sister to Cupid ... Kofiro already has 23 or 24 year ± os, but in his time a horse was very thin and delicate ...

The line of other online accounts whites were recognized for their brao and later ... but if we have a good group of mares recrÃa bringing this line, prana Just about horses that we are not used as pimps ... ± o True Design is one of these few horses, Clear Accounts direct children ... and that in turn brings the lines by Nettle Don Toquà and Furious ...

There is a REFRA n saying that a picture is worth more than a thousand words ... s why they are prepared © a Gallery of pimps with some of those horses we discuss in this article, as well as pimps to consider when encastar and in If I had a mare recrÃa ...
