Bred by Quinta de Portugal, yielded by master-breeder Nico Palha in 1994, he represents one of the most outstanding lineages of performance and bullfighting. He has indeed been tested in bullfights, where he proved ability and uncommon courage, a quality also shown by his children.

Visqueiro is a horse of in-bred Veiga lineage, son of Quieto (by Estribilho, ferro Coimbra) and of Nieta (also by Estribilho). His pedigree shows remarkable horses such as Guizo (Veiga), Que-Bá (Veiga), Sultão I (Veiga) etc.

Visqueiro represents the best existing Quina lineage (Veiga), having left magnificent offspring in Portugal, some of whom have already been imported to Brazil; all of them have excellent structure, unmatched walking and front. He's also a full sibling of Xique-Xique.

Visqueiro represents the purest lineage of warrior and bullfighting horses, so greatly loved for their soul and performance. He perpetuates this noble breed and its virtues.
