Important Horses
IBN Valle

IBN Valle was shown very successfully at halter and under saddle in Alberta, and California. He came to Nova Scotia after winning his Reserve Champion Halter in 1989 (Region 17), and since his career as a stud began, Valle has passed on his quiet personality, his beautiful "English Pleasure trot", and his compact body.

His offspring are winning and placing in Judged Pleasures, Competitive Trail Rides, halter, under saddle, and when it comes to liberty classes, the high knee action combined with a floating trot, flair and charisma always bring the proud owners many red ribbons. Valle himself being 14.2hh, many of his offspring are stunning ponies suitable for young riders wishing to place first in their classes - and some of his offspring are over 16hh, making formidably remarkable horses. Valle passes down his lovely grey to many of his get, but sometimes gives way to chestnuts and bays.

In 2003, IBN Valle left Mandel Arabians, but many of his offspring still reside here, either as competition horses, broodmares, or upcoming stallions. We hope to continue passing down the traits that made Valle himself so wonderful as both a pleasure horse, and a competition horse.
