Hiedra VG, 3 years old
Hiedra VG (Joyero Salvatella x Mañosa V). Pura Raza Española Mare
Yeguada CavalReal contrasts brood mares to confirm which ones are the most suitable for PRE sport horse breeding. Some of the factors we evaluate are temperament, movements and strength.
Together with her sister Hechizo VG, Hiedra VG is one of the first generation of Yeguada CavalReal brood mares. There were many uncertain factors when acquiring them at only two years of age, but it turned out that we were lucky, in that both sisters have ended up giving up some of our best PRE dressage offspring.
Hiedra VG was not selected for her beauty, because when she was young she was not beautiful at all, and often much too skinny since she always seemed to be growing. Rather, Hiedra VG was selected for her first class origins, height and movements. Measuring an impressive 16.3hh / 170 cm, Hiedra is extremely tall for a purebred Spanish mare. She has naturally uphill movements in trot and canter, as well as three very good gaits that she transmits to her offspring. In terms of looks, she seems to consistently transmit the Spanish beauty of her champion ancestors to her offspring that are all very handsome and good looking.
Character: Hiedra is noble and upright, and a very socially aware mare that always wants to greet and check out any newcomers straight away. She has much energy under saddle, and a great willingness to work.
Hiedra VG is a sister of Hechizo VG.
Breeder: Yeguada Velasco Gonzales. Height: 16.3hh / 170 cm. Breed: Pura Raza Española (PRE)
Hiedra VG's Dressage Skills
Before deciding if we were going to breed with Hiedra VG, we wanted to see how she was doing under saddle. Here below you can see her in a clinic with the technical director of a leading Spanish dressage academy. When our team of technical advisors agreed she was ready to compete in the FEI Young Horse classes, we decided go ahead with our PRE sport horse breeding project and let Hiedra VG become a mother.

Ancestry
Origins: Guardiola, Bocado
Hiedra VG's mother Mañosa V is a Spanish grand champion mare (see photos and list of merits below). Mañosa V is a daughter of the legendary Mañoso II, foundation stallion of Yeguada Ferrero, whose many sons and daughters are breed and movement champions the world over. Mañosa V is a sister of Fer Bulería.
On the father side, Hiedra VG is a daughter of Joyero Salvatella, grand daughter of Corinto X and great grand daughter of the outstanding Guardiola stallion Educado X, a son of Centella V.
The Guardiola stallion Centella V was Champion of Spain 1984 and is a key to some of the best Spanish dressage bloodlines. This amazing horse is the father of many excellent horses, like the outstanding Guardiola stallion Educado X.
Educado X is four times the winner of SICAB gold medals, and himself father of many of Spain’s multichampion horses. Hiedra's grand father Corinto X is a good example of a son of Educado X. An excellent stallion who has himself never been brought to competitions by his owners, but who has many beautiful, powerful and athletic offspring.
The full brothers Joyero Salvatella (Hiedra's father) and Joyero VG (Hiedra's uncle), sons of Corintho X and grandsons of Educado X, are two excellent examples of the genetic power of the Centella V line. Joyero Salvatella gives excellent dressage offspring with fantastic movements. His famous full brother Joyero VG, 2 x Spanish Reserve Champion of Dressage, is competing successfully on the international FEI dressage arenas.
