✨ Did you know?
We currently have 25 stabled horses at various stages of training here at Wasatch Lusitanos! 🐴

Under the skilled guidance of our riders and , each horse is nurtured from the moment they’re weaned—learning the foundations of stable manners all the way through to the highest levels of dressage training.

We believe that knowing our horses from their earliest days in the fields and carrying them through every step of their development creates the strongest foundation for our equine athletes.

Here’s to thoughtful training, consistency, and the incredible horses & team who make it all worthwhile. 🌟

Morena has been a meaningful part of our program from the very beginning. She came to us from Sociedade das Silveiras in Portugal in 2019 and has added her unmistakable charm and quality to our pastures ever since. Her foals consistently carry her presence, beauty, and athleticism—like the stunning bay stallion Sarek WL, whom we introduced recently.

Letting her go to a new home wasn’t an easy decision, but we’re grateful knowing she’ll be appreciated just as much there. She is currently in foal to our stallion Principe SS, and we’re excited to follow up on what this promising combination will bring.

Weekend vibes ✨

We like to alternate between more intensive days of work and lighter sessions of gymnastics or pure relaxation for our horses. Lunging isn’t just the beginning of their training—it’s a valuable tool we use to help them find their own balance, strengthen their bodies, and build confidence.

But just as important are the days when their “workout” is nothing more than a peaceful grazing session in the paddock or a few quiet minutes on the walker. These slower days are essential for their psyche and their learning process, giving them space to reset, absorb, and grow.

Balance is everything—for us and for them.

Celebrating our prime stallion, Opus MAC!

Fall 2025 marks five incredible years since this remarkable horse arrived to Wasatch from the green pastures of Coudelaria Manuel Assunção Coimbra in Golegã, Portugal’s capital of the horse.

Opus has flourished under the saddle of , proving to be a quick, willing learner now confidently working through high-school exercises. His athleticism, heart, and generosity shine with every ride.

But his legacy extends beyond the arena—Opus is an active sire whose charming foals are already turning heads both here at Wasatch and across Canada.

We are incredibly proud of this exceptional stallion and excited to watch his offspring follow in his hoof-steps. Here’s to Opus MAC and many more years of excellence!

🍂 Fall at Wasatch Lusitanos 🍂

The fall is upon us, and with it comes one of the most important steps in a breeder’s cycle — weaning the new crop of foals.

We take great care to offer our broodmares & foals in the very best throughout the year, so we also wait until our foals are at least six months old before weaning. It’s also when we finally give them their names.

Naming is special to us. Each foal’s personality and our hopes for their future play a part, but as Lusitano breeders, we also follow tradition. This year, all Lusitano foals’ names must begin with the letter V.

✨ V for Victory, perhaps — since every healthy, happy foal weaned marks a milestone and a small triumph in the beautiful rhythm of breeding.

Now we’d love to hear from you — what would be your favorite name starting with “V”? 💛🐴

🇵🇹 Yesterday marked the start of another National Horse Fair (Feira Nacional do Cavalo - ) in Golegã — Portugal’s true capital of the horse!

This century-old fair brings together the finest horse breeders from across Portugal (and even beyond) for what has become the largest and most prestigious celebration of the Lusitano breed.

For an entire week, Golegã transforms into a vibrant stage for competitions, exhibitions, art shows, conferences and parades — all honouring the Lusitano in its full splendour. Breeders, riders (professional and amateur alike), and enthusiasts fill the cobbled streets and the iconic Largo do Arneiro with tradition, elegance, and passion.

The highlight for many? The Model and Movements competitions on the Thursday before the final weekend — a true showcase of beauty, grace, and equestrian excellence.

Are you heading to Golegã this year? 🐴✨

🔥 Sarek WL (Adido Int x Morena SS) is an absolute bomb of a horse — and we mean that in the best way.

With his striking looks, deep dark bay coat, and powerful, off-the-ground movement, he’s pure elegance in motion. He doesn’t just move — he flies. And when he’s not turning heads in the arena, he’s melting hearts on the ground with his sweet, willing nature.

Currently in training with our rider , who shares:
🗣️ “I’ve been working with Sareck for the past six months. From the first sessions on the lunge, he was cooperative and focused — everything felt easy. Now that he’s built up his muscles and is ready to start his work under saddle, we’re looking forward to seeing him develop into a great saddle horse.”

We know this one is going to make someone very lucky. 🍀
