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.

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.

Aiken Standard - Alcacer Interagro & Arsaces Interagro winning at
the dressage show in Aiken last weekend
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.

gifts to our kids
