ORIGINS: Iberian Peninsula (Portugal, Spain). A very ancient breed that shares its’ heritage with the Andalusian.

In Portugal, the bull is not killed and the whole event is performed with the rider on horseback. It is no surprise that this breed is highly prized for its incredible agility, speed and precision. Today they are still used for farm work and bullfighting as well as dressage.

CHARACTERISTICS: The Lusitano is noble and courageous. It has amazing athletic ability as well as being level headed with a willing even disposition. It has a noble head and finely arched neck and often possesses a very full mane and tail.
