CONVERSANO MARINA III 
Sire:  Conversano Barbarina
Dam: Marina
Date of Birth:  2/8/07

"ConMan" as he is known, is an example of the quality foals produced by this excellent pair of Lipizzans.  He inherits the best of his sire and dam.   He is the 3rd outstanding colt by this pair.  His full brothers are absolutely exceptional, just ask their owners!  Born dark bay, he is changing colors monthly.  Be sure to check back for updated photos.  ConMan's attitude is mellow, he loves attention and accepts new things quickly and calmly.  He stands well for the farrier, vet, bathes, clips and ties.  He hauls well and loads like a pro, one foot at a time.

His sire, Conversano Barbarina, is an imported veteran formerly of the Spanish Riding School of Vienna, Austria.  Trained through the famous "airs above the ground",  his foals are nothing short of spectacular.   He passes on a beautifully arched neck, and gorgeous correct gaits.  

He served 2 breeding seasons at Piber before being imported to the US.  Conversano Barbarina's foals are some of the highest scoring Lipizzan foals in the US.  Research shows that the number of registerd Lipizzans from the Conversano line is currently lower than any other line in the US, offering more choices for your broodmares.  This stallion brings his valuable genes, intelligence and talent from Austria and most importantly, HE PASSES IT ON... 

Conversano Barbarina's foals have evaluation scores in the 80's.  The highest score has been  88.33.  Currently his offspring are some of the highest scoring Lipizzans in the US.  His average foal score is 84.35.

ConMan is very kind, accepting of new situations, is out daily with the the mare herd and knows the social order.  He was quick to figure out what he can and cannot do and is very respectful of his handler and other horses.  He is handled daily, and stands without halter for handling of feet and grooming.  At 6 months of age he is 14.3, we expect he will mature to approx. 16 hands. 

He is truly a "ConMan" and as he steals the show when he struts his stuff!
