TESTIMONIALS AND REVIEWS.....
"We absolutely love our beautiful Lusitanos from Jaz Ranch! Gail and Brent are such wonderful people, and spent loads of time with us as we made our final decision. We couldn't be happier with the two colts we purchased. They have become very dear members of our family. Both colts inherited Halconero's athleticism and intellegence. Within just a few months they are excelling in their classical training and they will only get better and better with time. Thank you, thank you, thank you to Gail and to Brent, and especially to Halconero, Caressa and Bandita for producing such magnificent Lusitano colts! - Dr. and Mrs. Michael Walker

After reviewing numerous options
within the Andalusian and Lusitano market, we selected to pursue our recent
acquisition through the Jaz Ranch in Utah. Young horses were individually
paddocked with accompanying run in stall sheds. They had minimal handling
but the handling they did received was superb. Our choice was a 2013
black, 15.0h, Lusitano stallion with two white rear socks we affectionately
call Icon.
The pre purchase
veterinary examination included over 30 radiographs, toxicological testing, clinical
examination, and flexion tests on all four limbs. Icon passed with flying
colors. Within two weeks he was being unloaded out of his box transport
stall via SFE transportation company at our Wrenwood Dressage training
facility. He walked off as if he was looking for coffee and a donut.
No spook, no ill temper, no overtly inappropriate stallion behavior, and
looking fat and fit to begin his formal education.
Icon was placed
in a quarantine stall for the first three weeks but maintained a productive
initial training regimen during such. As of this writing, Icon has been
on site for less than a month and has learned to turn and face or hook up when
a liberty, lead without a halter or rope of any type, wear protective leg wear
or boots, stand tied singularly, stand tied in a cross tie, bathe without
incident, leg lead, lay down, walk over a tarp, wear a surcingle and pad, line
drive, and stand without restraint to be brushed, tacked, and have his feet
picked. Although it is much too early to make any absolute determination,
for the month that he has been here he ranks in the top ten of horses I have
handled in 37 consecutive years of International Dressage.
Customarily,
horses are either unhandled and too wild when the initial training phase
begins, or worse, over handled and acquire "pet" status and do not
respect their human handlers. Jaz Ranch did a magnificent job of managing
Icon's emotional development all the while maximizing his physical development.
I credit them with properly preparing this young student for training.
Please find the
accompanying images and video helpful in making your own assessment of this
wonderful stallion acquired from Jaz Ranch less than one month ago!

“I
have had Hypnotico (AKA Tico) now for almost two weeks and he has transitioned
into his new home exceptionally well. He is a beautiful horse, inside and out,
and he is not even three years old. I can't wait to witness his transformation
to an adult horse and Dressage partner over the next several years. I think he
will be quite phenomenal (of course I do). I will keep you posted on his progress."
Warm wishes, Susanne
