Summerwind Marchadors

Summerwind Marchadors, marchadors in Scottsdale, AZ, in the Sonoran Desert near Phoenix, are run by John and Lynn Kelley. They have been breeding marchadors for more than ten years and participate in standards set by the Brazilian Marchador Association. All foals receive regular veterinary care and hoof trimming from an experienced farrier to ensure soundness. The Kelleys raise their horses on open pasture with daily turnout and early handling to develop calm temperaments.

Their focus on smooth gait and balanced conformation has led to success in regional trail competitions. Several young horses have gone on to serve in local equine-assisted therapy programs, reflecting the farm’s commitment to temperament and versatility. Reviewers frequently mention the peaceful pasture environment and the horses’ steady dispositions when describing their visits. All breeding stock undergoes conformation and gait assessments at weaning to support consistent quality in future foal generations.
