Gazaro Mancha is a homebred mare by Comico IV out of Borrascosa IV
Mancha is Spanish for ‘splash’ or ‘splodge’; an obvious name considering the size of the star on her head! Although chestnut at birth she has inherited one grey gene from her sire and now shows some ticking through her coat. However, as Comico appears to have an inhibiting gene which prevents him from greying out and at his current age of 23yrs he still shows considerable colour through his coat, which makes his colour pattern most attractive. This suppression factor is not yet fully understood by the geneticists but it is exhibited in other horses in Comico’s line and it looks like it may also be present in Mancha.
We showed Mancha twice  in 2016. At her first show she came second in a large class of over 20 youngsters aged 1-3yrs of all breeds. She also competed in the ANCCE 2yo filly class at the 2016 GBPRE National Show and came a creditable 4th.  She was judged by judges from Spain, as this show is a qualifier for the Spanish Championships held each year in Seville.
She was Graded in June 2017 and put in foal to Mas Yaco and now has a palomino filly foal at foot born May 2018.
