Lavrador Lusitano Stallion

During our first trip to Portugal, we fell in love with this incredible being, Lavrador, who embodies everything one looks for in the perfect horse: Exquisite breathtaking beauty, superb movement and athletic ability, and the kindest of temperaments.

Now part of the breeding program for Vintage Iberia, Lavrador has proven to be an exceptional breeding stallion. Bred with a variety of mares, including Lusitano, Arabian, Quarter Horse, Warmblood, Thoroughbred, Morgan & Kiger Mustang, Lavrador consistently improves functionality, athleticism and temperament, transmitting his superb qualities to his offspring. We receive calls and letters from mare owners who have bred their mares to Lavrador and who wish to breed their mares to him again, as the foals are outstanding in every way.

Lavrador's bloodlines represent the best that Portugal has to offer. Sired by Dario, a Veiga-Quina Stallion, and Batelada, a daughter of Trovao, a member of the School of Equestrian Art in Lisbon. (See page 225 of Arsenio Cordeiro's book, Lusitano Horse Son of the Wind, to see a photo of Trovao). Vidago, sired by Nuno Oliveira's stallion, Euclides, and the highly respected mare Garvoneza, is the sire of Trovao. (See page 148 of Arsenio's book to see a photo of Euclides, ridden by Nuno Oliveira.)
