Personal Relationships:
 
Wayne- Quili is a gentle giant, I can credit Quili for my transition from being scared of horses to being comfortable around them. He has a beautiful calm energy that seems to permeate around the stables to people and horses. He has such a confident and striking presence. He loves it when I give him a neck cuddle and I'm always in awe of his power and physique.
 
Nicole - In all honesty im not sure Im ready to part with Quili, he is the sweest horse. Big gentle giant. His calm energy soothes the soul. He is great around other horses, dogs and kids. Nothing fazes him. He loves his food. Ridden he is a dream big floaty paces super comfortable. He would be a great project for someone to take up the dressage levels. He would be greatly missed.
 
Lineage:
Quilate JMM carries a pedigree deeply rooted in classical PRE breeding, distinguished by generations of proven, functional bloodlines and a strong concentration of historically influential names.
He descends from Boticado XIII, a stallion recognised for transmitting solidity, presence and correct conformation. This sire line traces back through Estudioso III and Centella VIII, names closely associated with traditional Spanish breeding values, where balance, strength and mental reliability were prioritised. Further depth is added through Centella V and Mariana, reinforcing a lineage built on consistency rather than fashion.
On the maternal side, Quilate JMM is out of Tacana II, herself bred from a robust and well-established mare line. Her pedigree includes Goloso XII, Boticaria XIII, and Tacana I, lines valued for durability, substance and long-term soundness. The presence of foundational horses such as Sevillano IV, Yaca II, and Maricela II further strengthens this maternal heritage, reflecting generations of purposeful selection.
Notable relations throughout Quilate JMM’s pedigree include repeated appearances of Boticado, Centella, Sevillano, and Goloso bloodlines — families that have quietly underpinned the PRE breed for decades. These are genetics known for producing horses with a strong work ethic, correct structure and the mental steadiness required for sustained training and partnership.
What makes Quilate JMM particularly valuable is the cohesion and depth of his lineage. Rather than isolated standout names, his pedigree reflects a clear breeding philosophy focused on longevity, functionality and true Iberian character. Such pedigrees are increasingly rare in the modern market and are highly sought after by riders who value substance, authenticity and long-term quality.
Quilate JMM’s heritage offers quiet prestige, genetic stability and enduring value — a pedigree chosen for those who understand the importance of foundation bloodlines and the lasting impact they have on the horse beneath the saddle.
