Purchased as a weanling from Alliance Miniatures, Michael Brandt knew Antonio was something special the first time he saw him. They have
had a connection since day one. His balance and strong conformation made him a natural for the show ring. Shown to two GRANDS as a
yearling, adding another this year proves this GRAND Senior Stallion has what it takes to be a Champion. The Brandt’s wish to thank Mike
Hlavatovic and all the Alliance team for the expert conditioning and showing Antonio every year at World. Michael and Carol look forward to
seeing what this wonderful stallion produces with his first foal crop this spring.
