Meet San Cler Nazareth of Bellissima Farms.  Naz is our senior stallion and has been a steady part of our program for years.  He's chestnut sabino and also carries a copy of the pearl gene.  He's a bit of a shorty (13.2hh), but he's exactly what we wanted in every way.  His size, hair, bone, and conformation has allowed us to take larger mares (some with conformation flaws) and produce offspring closer to the center of the size for the breed standard, which is what we target in our breedings.  He does extremely well with passing down his other desirable traits, and has produced some very spectacular progeny with us.


Naz is smart and one of the most gentle and human-friendly stallions that this breed has to offer.  He's one of the few fully intact stallions that I'd even dare say that I trust children to be around.

Naz has a love for the ladies and he's very adept at his job as a stud.  He's lived with mares long enough that he knows exactly when they are in season, and, unless they are in season, he doesn't try anything with them.  In those cases, he's mostly just another one of the horses in the pasture.


Often in horse pastures, there arises a lead mare that is the head horse of the pasture, but that's not the case with Naz.  He is the king of his domain.  He treats other horses very well, though, and he's like the fair and wise leader that we would all like to have as our leader (if we were horses).  He is the boss, though, so he demands respect from the others (he gets to eat first when food is being allotted).

He's been out on a breed lease for some time now.  When he was with us, though, he would daily wait for the UTV (the food truck) to turn the corner of the pasture, and then he'd race the quarter of a mile where food is handed out in hanging buckets (sometimes I'd let him win, but not always).


Unless there's another mare in heat, Naz's constant companion is his queen, Jewel.  These two horses have been bonded since they met during the summer that they came to our farm together.  They've even spent a winter together just the two of them in one paddock.

Naz and Jewel are like an old married couple.  When Jewel is removed from the paddock, Naz spends the entire time agitated and running the fence line.  She does the same when he's out getting a hoof trim or seeing a vet.  It's funny when Naz is returned to the pasture to Jewel.  When that happens, Jewel puts on a huffy, rapid, short scream, and leg-stomp display for him almost like she's accusing him of having been with some other mare.  He takes those accusations and just keeps moving along, though.


Nazareth has fathered five foals for us with two more on the way this coming season.  He has been a solid foundation for our farm.
