Our stallion, Ator Fazenda Zouga, was born in Brazil on our Fazenda in Rio de Janerio State. His dam, 1635 Marengo da Tosana, was sired by National Champion 443 Marengo da Tosana from one of the largest Mangalarga Marchador breeding farms in Brazil. Ator’s sire, Netuno A.J., another Brazilian Champion Stallion also owned by Tosana Fazenda. At one time, Netuno A.J. had sired more Champion Mangalarga Marchadors in Brazil than any other stallion. The “proof is in the pudding”, Ator has sired over 20 registered Mangalarga Marchadors here in North America. In these offspring, his champion bloodline attributes are very noticable in their conformation, temperament, size, and gaits including both picada and batida with a wide assortment of colors.
