Associations : https://namarchador.org/ https://marchadoresdeluruguay.com/en/mm-in-brazil/ The Mangalarga Marchador is a Brazilian horse breed known for its unique, smooth, four-beat "marcha" gait, which provides an incredibly comfortable ride. Developed in the 19th century from Iberian bloodlines, the breed is prized for its athleticism, stamina, intelligence, and docile temperament, making it versatile for cattle work, endurance riding, and pleasure riding. The breed is characterized by a light but strong build, a triangular head, and a deep chest, and it is a well-established and numerous breed in Brazil. The marcha gait is remarkably fast and smooth, a gait in which the horse moves its feet alternately laterally and diagonally with moments in which triple support can be verified. The Mangalarga Marchador, exhibiting classic Spanish conformation and charm, averages between 14.2 and 16 hands in height and weighs between 850 and 1100 lbs. Although grays predominate, chestnut, black, bay, buckskin, palomino and paint horses are also present. An adept and extremely versatile breed, the Mangalarga Marchador is fast becoming one of the most sought after breeds. As with many Iberian breeds they are good cattle horses. They are known for setting the Guinness Book of World Records endurance ride of 8,694 miles in 1994. A perfect trail horse, they could also excel in other disciplines that require agility, stamina, speed and a sound mind.
