Father of: Belle

History: Maravillosor was a prize-winning, top quality, purebred Andalusian stallion. His owner was a horse breeder, who specialised in stunning Spanish horses. Although purebreds were his main focus, occasionally he would seek outcrosses to compliment the breed or to create something with a job in mind. 

His latest project in mind was to create an exotic looking, strong, but docile carriage horse, as they could fetch a good price in America. He set off with Mara to America to find a suitably coloured and proportioned mare. His search took him far and wide, scouring towns, villages, camps and outposts for the perfect mare. 

After almost a year of travelling, earning money by putting on performances with Mara, he found her. An Appaloosa Draft horse called Sonnet. She was unusually coloured, stocky and strong and very calm. She belonged to a businessman in a decent sizes town with a lot of people. The horse breeder offered to buy the mare, but the man wouldn't sell, but he offered him work in exchange for the right to breed his mare.

The match happened quickly and 12 months later, Belle arrived!
