In a world where beauty, character and performance rarely come together in such perfect harmony, there are horses that stand out. Horses that captivate not only with their outward appearance but also with their inner greatness and temperament. Waco is one of those horses. A Pura Raza Española (PRE) stallion of the highest class, born in 2017, 8 years old and already a true milestone in any breeding or riding career. An eye-catcher in a rare color – and he knows it too! Waco carries the rare and noble special color Perlino – a shade that is not only rare in PRE breeding but also impresses with a fascinating, almost metallic sheen. His coat shimmers in golden, cream and silver tones depending on the light, making him glow in the sunlight. But it is not only his color that makes him so special: With a height of 1.68 m, an expressive, finely cut head and a baroque build with strong, well-proportioned musculature, he draws all eyes on him – in the arena just as much as at the stud or during presentations. One sometimes has the feeling Waco knows he is a spectacle – and enjoys it with noble composure. A stallion with heart and carriage – Despite his imposing appearance, Waco is in his character a true exception. Those who meet him immediately feel the deep inner calm and nobility this stallion radiates. He is a horse that shows presence without ever being loud. Even as an active stud with over 50 offspring he retains an incredible calmness and politeness in daily handling. Whether leading, in the stall, in the paddock or under saddle – Waco is always friendly, polite and controlled. In the mixed barn he is inconspicuous – other horses, mares or other stallions do not disturb his calm. He is a prime example of how a stallion can be exemplary handled. His reliability quickly makes one forget that one is dealing with a complete breeding and riding career package here. Riding pleasure at the highest level Under saddle Waco shows his second great strength: He is a dream horse to ride. With extremely comfortable basic gaits, a soft mouth and great lightness of contact he is a revelation for both demanding riders and leisure riders. His trot is ground-covering, his walk diligent and rhythmically secure, and his canter soft and balanced – perfectly suited for classical dressage, but also for working equitation, shows or a relaxed trail ride. Waco goes safely and confidently out in the field, both alone and in a group, at the front or the back. He does not pull, buck or rear and can always be easily corrected and controlled. His intelligence and willingness to learn make him an extremely pleasant partner who quickly adapts to new tasks and is always ready to please. Particularly noteworthy: Despite his 8 years, Waco is unexploited – he was trained gently and has not been over-challenged so far. This makes him a true treasure for riders who want to grow with him for many more years – both in training and in friendship. Breeding value at the highest level Also in breeding Waco is a jewel. In his pedigree two of the most important stallions of the renowned Paco Marti stud unite: Revoltoso XXIX and Divo PM. Revoltoso XXIX is known as the sire of several world champions – a synonym for quality, charisma and top sporting performance. Divo PM, on the other hand, is the perfect connection between special color breeding and performance-oriented PRE lines – a guarantor of inheritance strength and top-class conformation. Waco thus carries the best genes within him, not only a rarity in color but also a valuable asset in sport and breeding. His offspring already show
