Seven  years ago when I was out visiting Jim & Cindi Goff in Kentucky, I fell in love with this giant, kind mare.  The moment I saw her, I felt she was suppose to be with me.  The connection we made was instant and overwhelming.  I tried for several years to buy her, but just couldn't make it work. I never gave up hoping that she would eventually come home to be with us.  When I saw her 3 week old filly on a video, I just had to have her.  That filly is our beloved Gwenivere now owned by Caron Andrews in Colorado.   Finally in 2000, Diana Steadman, Celina's former owner, contacted me and we finally came to an agreement.  Now my beloved Celina is here with me.  Truly a dream come true.
This spectacular mare is 16.2 hands and a mountain of beauty and grace.  She is mesmerizing to watch and ride under saddle and a joy to have on the farm.  She is by Castiblanco III who has produced many national champions including the amazing Prestigio.  Celina has given me a greater understanding of what an Andalusian should be.
