05/22/11 We've added a few recent pictures of Gloria. A couple of months ago she went to our good friend's Walt and June Thon to begin her ground work. Takes a special person to work with such a special horse. Walt is working his magic and Gloria is doing fantastic! Thank you Walt for your kind patience with our "mucho brio" mare. And Thank you June for the pictures!
05/01/11 New pictures of Lolita, Viajera & Carlos! Our daughter Cammey was visiting from MN early in April and so we have some new pictures to share.
03/20/11 We finally took some riding pictures of Centauro and it had to be the windiest day of the year, but he was a trooper, except for his mane was blowing all over the place! We had to get a new camera and we're a little slow in figuring it out so these pictures are not our best but we'll keep working at it.

We've also added a few newer pictures of Jubilee, taken October 2010. We had forgotten to add these.
03/05/11 Special Price Reduction on Centauro! This gelding will make a great endurance horse! We are trying to keep all of the horses ridden but due to the recent addition of Via & Carlos we just have too many to do them all justice! We will post riding pictures soon!
02/15/11 Summit Peruvians welcomes two beautiful geldings, Viajera del Carlos and El Galan Dorado del Carlos! Thank you Oscar Williams for entrusting us with your very special boys!

These pictures were taken in the early 1980's at our Peruvian horse farm, Valle de los Cabellos, located in Dodge, WI. You will find Esperanza in the back ground of several of our horses. She was a wonderful producing mare.
8/24/09 Gloria sent great new pictures of Espiritu. These were taken August 9th, riding at O'Leno State Park. They sure enjoyed their ride.
8/05/09 We've added a picture of GJ Azabache, a very pretty black colt by Felipe. He is owned by Bonnie Gjerseth in Wisconsin.

Check out the new picture of "Swampy". This was taken by the 2009 Peach Classic show photographer, Jack Greene. That you Jack!
7/24/09 We have added a new mare to "The Girls" page. SP Espiritu de Alhaja is a gorgeous red mare. She is owned by a good friend of ours Gloria Grant. This young mare has ALOT of potential in several different disciplines. Contact Gloria at (352) 473-6613 for more info.

6/06/09 New pictures of Jubilee! What a beautiful mare and she goes so nice on a loose rein and really moves out well on the trail!
6/05/09 We've added another Activities page. Early in February this year, Al's brother and family came for a visit. There are a few pictures of our grand nephews enjoying the horses.
05/19/09 Retirement Sale! It is with much sadness that we must acknowledge we are fast approaching retirement. Al & I have decided to make available our excellent quality mares and riding horses at reduced prices. We will keep a small group to enjoy in our retirement.

Jubilee is going nicely in the bit and is currently putting on lots of trail miles at O'Leno State Park, near High Springs, with Erica Bryant, and Aixa will be started under saddle this coming spring. They both will also make excellent breeding mares! We also have two yearling geldings at affordable prices, both being very quality horses, as well as a 3 year old gelding that is doing great in the bozal. He did amazingly well at his first show, took everything in stride, and he is probably the most “natural” of all Peruvians we have ever owned. He will offer one heck of a luxury ride!

Consider these quality horses and let us know if you have any questions or would like to come for a visit. Good homes are a must!
05/03/09 We are excited to announce SP Imperioso is the 2009 SSPHC "Peach Classic" Champion of Champions Luxury Gelding! Pictures

We will post more pictures as they come our way. We could not have wished for a better home for Beni. These two were meant for each other!
02/15/09 Early in February Al's brother and family came for a visit. We posted a few pictures of our grand nephews enjoying the horses on a new Activities Page.
