El Primero, aka, "Tony", was a 1995 Thoroughbred gelding, standing 15.2 hands with his shoes on. He was a bay with a star on his face. Tony was bred and foaled in Nampa, Idaho by Jesus Trejo. He is the first foal for his dam, Classic Allure, hence his name "The First" in Spanish. After being shown to several prospective buyers, and rejected due his small stature, Sara claimed him for her own and gave him the barn name of Tony. He has lived up to his name, "The First".
