Marfim do Top is a stallion of astonishing presence. He earned ABPSL reproduction approval with a rarely matched 80 registration points, regarded as near perfection in every judging category. He stamps his get with the same. Each evidences consistently expressed qualities of intelligence, athleticism, sensitivity, and ridability. Notewothy is the short back, strong coupling, good bone, and long leg. Perhaps most extraordinary of all is temperament – nobility, honesty, generosity.
Marfim do Top’s grandsire, Afiancado de Flandes is reputed the winningest and most awarded of the Lusitano breed. Marfim do Top’s half-brother competed in the Bejing Olympics. A son reigned as the top Working Equitation champion in Brazil. A daughter was jumping 4 feet at 4 years of age. Imported offspring sucessfully compete at Dressage at Devon and professional dressage competitions. There is little doubt that Marfim do Top is a true conduit for the famous blood he carries.
Continuing with foundational stallions and bloodlines is vital to producing champion horses. Debra and Dominique are thrilled to add another grandson of Afiancado de Flandes to their breeding registry; Marfim do TOP and our Bailado do TOP share the famous grandsire…and the grandsire of Afiancado is the same as our beloved Larapio MAC (Maravilha) ! That makes for over six generations of proven excellence.
There are limited breedings available to Marfim do TOP. Stud fee is $2000 with live foal guarantee. If interested in more details, send an email to Debra at barbierfarm@aol.com .
