The stud currently has twelve own brand Lusitano mares, with all the breeding stock descendant from a very special mare called Havoner, daughter of the famous lusitano Nilo MV and granddaughter of Firme SA. After a few years of breeding, the same genetic was introduced, but this time, with stallions descendant from the famous bullfighting horse Opus 72 MV. The following horses, who have proved the
mselves to be outstanding at the highest levels of the Lusitano breed, predominate in terms of our animals’ genealogy: NILO (M.V.), OPUS72 (M.V.), XAQUIRO (Quina), FIRME (S.A.), UNIVERSO (M.V.), CAMPEADOR (CSM), SOBERANO (GUB), HOSTIL (JGB), ESCORIAL (SB), RUBI (AR), LUX (DR), EQUADOR (MVL), and others. Keep the good minds and capacity of collection of the traditional lusitano bloodlines, and improve with modern bloodlines the skills, the dimension, the gaites, the structure and rideability. This strategy is proving us that is possible to improve the lusitano breed without changing it. Many of our horses are having amazing potential for sports, but continue to be lusitano horses in its deeper concept. We need to look at a horse and see that is a lusitano horse. We have concentrated on a painstakingly strict selection of stallions/broodmares, with the aim of breeding good natured horses with high levels of functionality, physical structure and slenderness, while never disregarding those characteristics which make the Lusitano such an unrivalled horse: BREEDING. Almost all the horses are exported for Center/North of Europe, some are in Spain and Portugal, as well as United States and Eastern Europe. Our endeavours have been rewarded by several prizes in Model and Movements competitions at the International Lusitano Purebred Festival, Golegã Fair, as well as in many International Events all over the World. Our horses achieved many titles of Champions of the Breed, in adition to several horses with outstanding performances in dressage events and bullfighting.
