Mas Yaco
Dob 3.8.2013 16hh Genotype eeAACrCr
All the horses on the yard seem to end up with a pet stable name and it's not difficult to understand why Mas Yaco has been nicknamed 'Yogurt'!
Yogurt came to us from Spain when he was 6 months old in 2013. At that time there were only 9 male registered PREs of this colour in the world and Mas Yaco was the only one outside Spain.
Genetically, Yogurt is a chestnut horse with two cream genes. Because he will always pass on one cream gene, his genetic makeup guarantees a Palomino foal when put to a chestnut mare, and a Palomino or Buckskin foal when put to a bay or black mare (dependant on whether she carries a red gene or not). He also has two agouti genes so he will not produce 'smokey' foals (smokey black or smokey cream)
Yogurt passed his grading APTO (suitable for breeding) in 2017 with some very favourable comments from the Spanish Commission. However, for personal reasons, Mas Yaco is no longer available for public stud work but is continuing to cover our own mares. He is proving to be an exceptional stallion. Twelve foals on the ground, (nine palominos and three buckskins) all of which have inherited his conformation, his true Spanish type, good looks, presence, temperament and movement.
In over twenty years of breeding PREs we have never retained a colt we bred as a future stallion, however, we could not resist keeping Gazaro Anopheles We think he is something special and has the potential to be as good as his sire, Mas Yaco.
Mas Yaco is our current Stud Stallion and only used on our own mares. He no longer stands at public stud because we no longer have the ability to collect, process and dispatch semen at short notice.
