Does anyone have any pedigree information on this adorable little guy?
(Taylor Bland rode him in the ATCO Structures, he's the tiny palomino).
All the information on him I can find is that he's a Spanish-bred Anglo Arab Gelding
(apparently bred for bullfighting - I'm thinking there was a little confusion on the part of the reporter on that one...)

Hey, this is Taylor... stumbled upon this thanks to a friend ;)
Tango's an Anglo-Arab, 15.1hh, 13 yr old, gelding, originally bred and raised in Spain.. and yes, to be a bull fighting horse! His sire is Neptuno, his dam's sire is Vaiven.
He was given to a dressage barn in the Dominican Republic involving the Spanish government, and that barn also had a stable in Canada, where they decided to keep him... 15 minutes away from our barn.
He showed with a professional in the 1.40m jumpers for a while then we leased him and I show him mostly in the 1.30m (hes a winner in that one!) and some 1.40m speeds here and there.

Thank you Taylor, he is cute as anything! He must be a fun horse. And congrats you rode him very well!
I'm surprised, I didn't know they were breeding anglo-arabs into the bullfighting ring, learn something new everyday I guess :).
I'm still having a hard time finding information on Tango or his sire, all of the Las Marismas sites are down :(
