I decided to buy a Lusitano with the idea to train him to Grand Prix and so with Teresa Burton of Lusitano Horse Finder I searched for my ideal Lusitano. I have certainly seen a lot of normal and very typical Lusitanos corresponding ideally to what most Lusitano buyers ask: good character, good mind, intelligent, beautiful  and impressive, not to forget the wonderful colours. As we had been more focused on high level dressage Sport Lusitanos, we did not come across such a big choice. They are rare and difficult to find. I think that especially for these Sport Lusitanos the breeders have to be very careful not to lose the typical Lusitano aspect when trying to achieve better gaits and match the warm blood movement.

We found my horse at Coudelaria Vila Viçosa a lovely 3 year old colt. He is an super example of how breeders should be breeding more sportive Lusitanos he has all the qualities of the true Lusitano in model, he is powerful, is elastic and with quality gaits that compare the warmbloods. I am finding him a great horse to train intelligent, learns quickly, very willing and his gaits are getting better and better.
