Rancho San Martin - Breeders and Trainers of Peruvian Paso Horses

Rancho San Martin's owner, Manny Martinez, was born in Peru and moved to New York with his mother at a very young age.

Manny has been an avid horseman since age seven when he recieved his first horse, an English Jumper.

While growing up in New York, Manny visited Peru on occasion. There, he fell in love with the Peruvian Paso horses.

Manny then discovered that his maternal great grandfather, Sr. Manuel C. Tello, had been a prominent Peruvian Paso breeder who started the famous "Galpon" line on his Haciendas "Vinto" and " Chuchiu" in Barranca, Peru.

In 1992, at a horse show in Reno, Nevada, both Manny and his mother were conversing with Sr. Jose "Pepe" Dapelo, reminiscing about the old days. Sr. Dapelo was exited to learn that Manny was a direct descendant of Sr. Tello, owner of the "beautiful horses" which had created an "impression" on Sr. Dapelo during his childhood years when he visited Sr. Tello's haciendas.

In his early twenties, Manny moved to California to attend U.C.L.A., later becoming a lawyer.

In 1989, Manny Martinez founded Rancho San Martin who named it after Peru's patron saint, "San Martin De Porres".

Manny's foundation lines came from horses that he purchased from Sr. Antonio Onrubia and other known breeders in both, California and Peru.
