  Marco's Inspiration:
"The Carthusian monks at Jerez de la Frontera, province of Spain, bred the best Iberian horses for the last 13 centuries to arrive at the purity and character of the Spanish horse of today. Jeresano refers to being of Jerez. In Spain, any good wine is aged in oak barrels and is called 'Il de solera' or 'of good origin' and made in the properly aged way. Hence the name, Jeresano de Solera, an elegant name which describes this beautiful Spanish stallion floating on air with character and flawless movement and a long-standing noble heritage. Jeresano de Solera pays homage to the French impressionist masters who saw the horse floating in the air, but could not prove what they saw until the first high-speed camera was invented in 1881."
