Níquel (BF)
Bred by the well known Portuguese
Coudelaria Barata Freixo, Níquel BF was the founding stallion of
Interagro, where he served from 1976 to 1988. Níquel is son of
Selecto CN, a stallion of the best Spanish ancestry, grandson of
Primoroso DH, Destinado DH and Cartujano APT, the first two
being among the “head of lineage” of the Lusitano Stud Book, and
the latter being one of the founding stallions of Coudelaria
Andrade. Níquel’s dam, Joeira BF, was one of the most important
brood mares within Barata Freixo, where she had an extraordinary
offspring with individuals such as Níquel and Bronze BF, the
latter also imported by Interagro. Among the offspring of Níquel
there are six of the most important mares that formed the
genetic basis of the Interagro Lusitano: Biluca (many times
National Champion), Dama, Diva, Ema, Eva and Ela, all of them
National Champions, Gold Medals bred by Interagro
