The Amazing Azteca

This is Solana, my beautiful, sweet 4 year-old Azteca mare.

(You might notice that someone [who shall remain nameless] has gradually chewed off much of her name plate!)

For those of you who aren't familiar with Aztecas, don't worry! I wasn't familiar with the breed until just a few years ago. Originating in Mexico, the breed comes from crossing Andalusians with Quarter Horses. This produces amazing animals that capture the best of both breeds.
