Newcomers Shine at 2000 Nationals

New arrivals from Interagro in Brazil went almost from the plane to the show arena for the International Andalusian and Lusitano Horse Association National Show at the Will Rogers Equestrian Center in Fort Worth, Texas, last year with impressive results. Their performance was testament to the stability of their temperament and ability to adapt under difficult conditions. They spent a week in quarantine, a day in transit from Miami to Texas and just 48 hours at Interagro's Fort Worth headquarters before the Nationals where they shone in many of the Purebred Lusitano categories.

Lusitano Celebration Planned for Virginia

Plans are afoot in Virginia for a grand promotion of the Lusitano horse.  Marc Cugnon, a former professional rider and owner of Sacred Springs Farm is a firm believer in the versatility of the breed and wants to get this message across to horse enthusiasts and non-equestrian followers alike.

“It will be a celebration of the Lusitano,” explains Marc, who was born in Belgium.  The Sacred Springs Farm promotion is using the title “Les Journees Lusitaniennes” borrowed from the Belgian Lusitano Association, run by Claudine Gillion, who according to Marc, has made great strides in promoting the Lusitano in his native country. One of the ways in which she has achieved this is with an annual exhibition now frequented in large numbers, having attracted people who Marc says, “would not normally go to a dressage show.”
