Othelo Interagro –
by the famous Lusitano stallion Xique-Xique,
who played a central role in the history of Interagro Lusitanos.
From the
book "The Horse in the Twentieth Century" - feature on
Peter Van Borst.
'In
fact it was a live performance that brought Peter to the
States when he toured with "The Company of Knights", a spin
off from the film industry in the form of a successful
traveling medieval stunt act. Today he still works with live
performance and commutes from his home in Texas to Las Vegas
on a regular basis to work with illusionists Siegfried and
Roy - 'Masters of the Impossible' - and their
internationally renowned magic show.
Peter trained a horse he found in Mexico and tailored its
repertoire for the twice-nightly theatrical act that draws
audiences five nights a week to the Mirage Hotel.
The
horse performs on a four feet wide path that curves out in
suspension five feet above the audience. As Peter points
out, on camera, you can get lucky with a shot but for
repeated exhibition purposes, training is everything...
"I
like films that actually feature the horse," said Peter. "Films
like the first "The Black Stallion", a Francis Ford Coppola
movie. Glen Randall and his son Corky Randall trained that
horse. It was beautiful, a very pure film photographically.
The horse carried the movie from the beginning to the end.
That film was about a horse trainer because if it hadn't
been for a horse trainer that movie would have never been
made."'
Peter Van Borst, the
representative for Interagro Lusitanos in the United States
has an interesting background in training horses for the
film industry. There is more information about Peter
Van Borst and his fascinating equestrian background.

Equestrian Newspaper
Profile - Silke Rembacz
'With a good idea of what Lusitanos were capable of, from
her experience at Medieval Times, Silke was curious to see how
Montezuma would move. She was pleased to find the horse had
all the criteria she was looking for in a young prospect.
"I'm really excited about him," she said. "Even though I
was a new rider to him, everything I asked him to do, he tried
to do. He also moves very well. Some of the Lusitanos and
Andalusians have a tendency to paddle in front. He doesn't.
He's nice out of the shoulder, nice through the knee, has good
extension and a phenomenal mind."'

2000. Silke Rembacz, a
Grand Prix rider and trainer, is currently working with a
young Lusitano stallion Montezuma
do Mirante.

Sidelines Equestrian Newspaper - "Notes from the Road"
'Imagine riding out onto the trails through jungle, coffee
plantation and sugar cane on four of the world's most
pure-blooded horses - Portuguese Lusitano stallions! Before
you take off, imagine asking the four riders to line up for a
picture. These gentle giants were so well disciplined that it
was easy to forget they were all breeding stallions - and so
we did, lining them up for an uneventful photo op.
We then proceeded to ride attentively but peacefully through
the farm, past pastures where over
200 of their mothers and daughters were grazing, and headed
out for one of the most brilliant scenic rides I have ever
experienced. Most people could wait a lifetime just to sit on
one of these valuable stallions - and here I was trail riding
one!'

article was written by Samantha Charles, publisher of
Sidelines Equestrian Newspaper after a visit (in 1999) to the
Interagro Lusitanos’ Brazil stud
outside Sao Paulo. |

THE LUSITANO HORSE - Basic Lineages - an article by Paulo
Gavião Gonzaga
'The preoccupation with the quality and purity of the race
made the breeders very conscious of the work to be done. The
return to the old selection methods helped the purification of
the Iberian horse; the foreign blood was eliminated after
several generations and the basic modern lineages were born as
the result of the different procedures followed by the most influential breeders in
their individual selections. This historical recapitulation is
necessary to understand why, in an otherwise pure and
homogeneous race, different types and lineages could emerge.
It also explains the differences today between the otherwise
cognate Portuguese and the Spanish horses.'
Paulo Gavião Gonzaga has written two books
on the Lusitano horse and is currently working on a third

Andalusians and
Lusitanos in Virginia
'Not only are
Andalusians and Lusitanos the choice of celebrities including Johnny
Depp, Bo Derek, Sylvester Stallone, Arnold Schwartzenegger, Val Kilmer
and Daryl Hannah, they’re also growing in popularity in Virginia…
“Prior to relocating from Pennsylvania to Flint Hill in 2000 Marc and
Alaina Cugnon became captivated by the Lusitano stallion Othello.
Alaina purchased him as a gift for husband Marc who was returning to
horses after a long absence. Subsequently, they imported mares from
the prestigious Interagro stud in Brazil to serve as the foundation
for their breeding program.”
The above is an
extract from the October 2002 issue of the Virginia Horse Journal.
Marc Cugnon is also featured in the current issue of Lusitano News.
