Lusitanos in the Driving Seat Interagro has trained lusitanos for driving in Brazil (pictured above). The capability of the Lusitano horse to perform well in driving competitions has already been demonstrated at the highest level. A team of purebred Lusitanos won the 4-in-hand class at the 1996 World Driving Championships in Belgium. Felix Brasseur drove the team, owned by Jose Manuel de Mello, president of the Portuguese Lusitano Association. The horses names were Golias, Favorito and Fraque (sired by Vidago) and Fulgoso and Falcao (sired by Jaquetao).

The second in a series of works by Lusitano breeder and historian, Paulo Gavião Gonzaga.

Interagro Announces Breeding and Import Program to Clients A select number of Interagro Lusitanos are now being imported to clients in the United States through their agent Peter Van Borst (View Sales List). The import calendar for these exceptional horses is dictated by the schedule of events at the breeding operation in Brazil. Yearlings Information on yearlings - in the form of videos and literature - will be published in January and February for the benefit of US clients. Those horses selected will then be shipped to their new owners in the summer months. Young horses In September each year, the three-year-olds are brought in to start training in Brazil with a view to being under saddle and ready for clients in the US by the following June/July. Mares Mares are covered in October and December giving clients the opportunity to select the stallion of their preference. (Photographs and pedigrees of all Interagro stallions are available in the Gallery of Stallions.) Pregnancies are then confirmed and mares in foal are imported to the United States the following year. All sales inquiries should be directed to Peter Van Borst. View Current Sales List

Stallions Brought Success for Cook

When Katherine Cook took her three young Lusitano stallions to their first dressage show at Rocking Horse Stable in Altoona, Florida, on April 4, 2009, her goals were “to get them on and off the trailers, in and out of new environments and see how they would do.” The Brazilian-bred Interagro Farm well-mannered stallions not only made a big impression on the central Florida equestrian show crowd, they scored well with the dressage judges, as well. Cook’s newest acquisition, a four-year-old golden palomino, Alfacinha  Interagro placed second in Training Level, test 2, in a class of 10 horses, and third in Training Level, test 1, in a class of 16. Xisto Interagro, a 16.3 dark bay ridden by Captain Barry McKie, placed second in Training Level, test 4; and Zola Interagro placed first with the highest score in the show, 73.5% in Introductory Test B. Cook reports that some had never seen a Lusitano before, and she had to spell the name out. Domesticated in approximately 5,000B.C. and found in the Iberian Peninsula, the Lusitano was used in battle, bull fighting, equitation, sport and pleasure before being exported to Brazil and now North America.

Amintas Interagro scores 68,00% in his first American Dressage Show ridden by Leah Winston at Jim Brandon Center

Amintas and I competed for the first time today. He was a jewel. We did first level test 2 and scored a 67.77% and the USDF four year old test and scored a 68.00% With some very good comments!!!! It was at the Jim Brandon in Wellington, FL, he came off the trailer and settled into his stall like a champ and ate hay. He was relaxed the entire show, even in 25 mph wind and lashing rain on Saturday (the day we warmed up).

Will keep you informed as we go through the months of fun!

Arsaces Interagro is on the cover of Florida Horsemen Magazine

See the article “Ancient Warhorse to Ideal Pleasure Mount: Lusitano Breed available at Florida Auction” and more at the link

Arsaces Interagro is a 4 years old grey stallion by Ofensor (MV) and Traquina Interagro, a young mare of rare beauty and quality, daughter of Legendário do Mirante, the most famous son of the renowned Novilheiro (MV), with Nobreza (MAC) a Coimbra mare who received 81 points at revision.

Arsaces demonstrates great potential as a competition horse, breeding stallion and “best friend.” One of the happiest horses at Interagro Farm, he welcomes attention, especially having his nose rubbed. Sensitive, forward and calm, this beautiful stallion is a confident horse that likes to go out on a hack or work in the ring. Like his sire, Ofensor (MV), he has a big free shoulder and finds extension and engagement easy though his rider needs to keep him through in his back. He is a naturally uphill horse with a wonderful hind leg, has beautiful large eyes and a love for his work.
