The USMMA is invested in documenting our history and tracking each of our precious Mangalarga Marchador horses here in North America.

Years ago, we wrote THE IMPORTERS, a series of articles about the history of the Marchador breed coming to the U.S. and the breeders who brought them in. 

To celebrate this new year, we happily release the newest article written by Darby Minow Smith about Claudia Bellandi, CC Bellandi, Ocala FL. Claudia is continuing to import Mangalarga Marchadors from Brazil, a fresh start in importing live animals for her farm and others.

This is the sixth installment of the series – CC Bellandi. 

It’s exciting and so good for our future to grow the numbers and bloodlines represented in North America.
