The Mangalarga Marchador is a unique gaited breed native to Brazil. They have similar features to Baroque breeds, such as an arched neck and thick, full mane and tail. They are prized for their abilities as ranch horses and for their endurance. Their most notable feature, however, is their smooth gait which is unique to the Marchadores.
The following short film produced by Tucura Films shows the horses working and at liberty.

What an absolutely beautiful video!!!!!
Absolutely beautiful horses, but I couldn’t understand why they were running at the end.
thanks for an enjoyable viewing.
Great Video! I am a breeder in California, Rancho De Los Cielos and love my Marchadores.
Beautiful horses, beautiful breed. I have been breeding MMs and going to Brasil for over 12 years now. They are still to be discovered here. Expect to be amazed!
Lovely video, would like to know more about them, e.g. Temperament, Trainability, best suited uses.
My favorite Marchador video!
I have just learned of this horse. It is beautiful, well balanced in conformation. I enjoy the shape of the ear, similar to East Indian hoses.
They look like they are a wonderful ride.
Very interesting to see something new. They are lovely.
Wonderful horses to own. A very select breed, great for endurance riding,
working cattle. barrel racing and even jumping. The gates are so smooth, they are the Ferrari of horses.
Wonderful horse breed. 🙂
Beautiful horses.
Beautiful scenery and beautiful horses! I wonder what it feels like to ride something with so much lower leg action going on?
what a dream place….The Man from Snowy River, Brazilian style.
