Salgareno de Rescate, black, beautiful and in the buff, Mr. Dominican Republic himself, as that is where he hails from, even though he is of Full Colombian bloodlines. He has travelled the world, spending his youth  in Venezuela, and now his retirement in the USA.

Salgareno, aka "Salgi," is a direct Rescate son of the famous Resorte bloodline, specifically Resorte III, what I consider the best Resorte line hands down. Salgi is one of the few Rescate sons still alive. He typifies everything that is Paso Fino -  color, size, temperament, gait, his personality, brio, excitement, and the great beauty of his Spanish heritage.

These bloodlines of Resorte III through Rescate are very prepotent, and the characteristics specific to his father and grandfather are easily recognizable from his conformation down to the gait of his hooves and personality, including the quirks of his tongue girations and jaw-flapping.

Salgareno de Rescate is pictured with his nemesis, Miss America Runner Up. Salgi says: "Don't hate me because I'm beautiful!" His natural beauty is what it is, just as the natural beauty of his gait "is what it is." Don't question it, don't reason why - just accept and appreciate it as it is and for what it is - a la naturale.
