Once
again, the 11th International Luso-Brasileiro Auction has gathered
together a spectacular collection of Lusitanos from superior bloodlines
and titled competition stock. Some are already competing and demonstrating
excellent potential for high level dressage, while others are multi-talented
and waiting for the right partner to steer their versatility in other
directions.
• Violino: Among
the auction lots being offered, one of the stars is undoubtedly Violino,
from whom covering services will be auctioned to 20 lucky mare owners
who offer winning bids. Violino is a son of legendary and multi-titled
Veiga sire, Ofensor – considered to be one of the foundation
stallions of the modern Lusitano breed, who was Champion of Champions
at the Golegã International Horse Fair in 1999. Perhaps more
importantly, Ofensor’s offspring have also won many championship
titles and continue to perpetuate the glory of their sire’s
extraordinary bloodline.
Violino
himself has never been beaten in competition, winning various age-group
championships and now also producing offspring that are claiming
coveted victories.
• Xis
VO: Ribatejo, Traquina, Zique, Vaqueija, Visqueiro, Quieto
and Nieta are just some of the bloodlines that make Xis VO the
Brazilian stallion with the highest percentage of Veiga blood offered
at this auction. A dark bay son of Navalha, and a brother of Sol
VO, Xis is a handsome six-year-old with great potential as both
a competitor and a sire.
• Zatar
VO: A five-year-old son of Sol VO and, therefore, a nephew
of Xis, Zatar is a beautiful stallion out of Pimenta do Top who
is already showing an aptitude for high-level dressage. Standing
at 1m60/15.3hh and with an amazingly docile temperament, Zatar
is competition ready and in the right hands has championship potential.
• Zeus
VO: A beautiful son of Donaire, Zeus is highly typical of the
Baroque Lusitano type, packaged inside a stunning buckskin coat
that is so sought-after and appreciated. Already showing an aptitude
for “haute ecole,” Zeus was inscribed in morphology
at the 27th International Pure-bred Lusitano Horse Festival.
• Amuleto
VO: A showstopper with his dark palomino coat and flowing silver
mane, Amuleto stunningly combines male elegance, presence and docility,
and could well be a highlight of the 11th International Luso-Brasileiro
Auction.
Turning
to a beautiful collection of mares that includes …
• Africa
VO: A highlight among the females offered at this auction,
Africa VO illustrates Coudelaria Ilha Verde’s vision of the
modern Lusitano. With a proven track record and gold medals to
her name, she continues to make distinctive progress and will make
an eye-catching partner for a competitive rider.
• Aurora
VO: A delightfully versatile mare who has already won championship
gold medals and is in-foal to Quadro do Top. An excellent breeding
prospect.
Or a
complete package …
• Zangada
VO: An extremely rare opportunity to acquire a mare with such
noble bloodlines: twice Traquina and twice Visqueiro in her pedigree.
Her reproductive qualities are proven by the beautiful colt that
accompanies her: Distinto VO – a son of Quadro do Top. Zangada
is also in foal to the same stallion, so this lot offers a remarkable
three-in-one package for a breeding beginner.
Veterinary
reports and x-rays, as well as piroplasmosis-negative certification
are available for all the above-mentioned horses.
These
Lusitano profiles offer a brief insight into some 30 lots that will
be offered during the 11th International Luso-Brasileiro Auction
that is scheduled to take place at Coudelaria Ilha verde on Saturday,
May 10th, 2008.
If you
would like to attend the auction as well as the Internation Lusitano
Festival, places are still available on a 12-day group tour,
arriving in São Paulo on Thursday, May 8th, during which the
first two days will be spent at Couldelaria Ilha Verde, where you
will have the opportunity to ride, interact with Lusitanos, and participate
in other equestrian activities, graciously hosted by Victor Oliva.
