In the last several years, colored Morgans - Buckskin, Palomino , Grey and Roan - have seen a tremendous increase in popularity. This has been an added feature in breeding to Primavera Valdez. He produces color in 50% to 60% of his foals, along with great conformation, athletic ability and good temperament. Quarter Horse owners looking at the Morgan breed for the first time have been particularly interested in the Buckskin and Palomino Morgans.

This versatile stallion continues to add credits to the Morgan world by being the first in the breed to compete in previously unexplored areas:

Primavera Valdez is the first Morgan stallion that holds the National Reining Horse Association's Sire and Dam Program Award as an "Honor Roll Stallion"

Primavera Valdez won Grand Champion Buckskin Stallion at the American Buckskin Buckskin Registry Association under an ABRA Open Judge and we hope to show him and his offspring in other buckskin registry shows.

Primavera Valdez has become a favorite stallion at the U.C. Davis Veterinarian Large Animal Reproduction Department. He has been used in class demonstrations during collection for A.I. shipments while being handled by the vet students. Many of these students had no experience in collection which can be dangerous if a stallion is not extremely well behaved during the procedure. He has made many friends among the veterinarians on his many visits with his tractable, friendly disposition.

His progeny have been establishing good track records on their own.
