Lusitano horses were first brought to Brazil in the early 1500's by the Portuguese explorers when Brazil was a colony of Portugal. The Lusitanos adapted well to the climate and terrain and made excellent cattle horses. In 1541 a large herd of Lusitanos were sent to Brazil for breeding. Today's breeds, although diverging into different strains from selective breeding still retain all the early Iberian characteristics of stamina, strength and agility. In the l970's when Communism caused unrest in Portugal and the landowners were no longer financially able to keep large herds, hundreds of Lusitano horses were sold abroad to Brazil, Mexico, France, and Spain.

We imported Veneno Imperial from Brazil as a 5-year old to add the Veiga bloodline to our breeding program. Since his arrival, he has been a  favorite subject of the professional photographers and he graces many 2010 calendars in the U.S. and in Germany, as well as the poster boy for several commercial products.   Juan Carlos Altamirano featured Veneno in his latest book "El Caballo Lusitano" with beautiful full page photographs.   Veneno has show presence and dominance of the camera and the show arena.

Veneno has no vices and good temperament.  He is showing 3rd level, working on his tempis changes and pirouettes. Thanks to his very correct  dressage foundation, he is ready to move forward.   He has a  sensible character and is forward and willing in his work.  With three  very correct gaits, his near perfect conformation, a sound mind, and his  spectacular good looks, it is easy to see that Veneno is headed for  greatness.

We are fortunate to have the renown international rider and  trainer, R. Dennis Stickley, assist in the classical dressage training of  Veneno http://www.master-of-the-horse.com.)  Mr. Stickley is well respected in the U.S., South America,  and  Europe.

The Alter Real line was founded in the 18th century by the Braganza royal family of Portugal for the purpose of supplying the royal stables in Lisbon with suitable high school and carriage horses. The Alter Real horses became respected all over Portugal and Spain for classical equitation. The stable continues today as a state-owned breeding facility for equitation and dressage horses. To our knowledge, Exaustivo is the only 100% Alter Real stallion in the Americas.

Exaustivo exhibits the superb athletic ability and collection that makes the Alter Real horses excel at high level dressage movements. He has also proven his ability to pass on his athletic ability, fluid movement, kind willing temperament, and regal presence to his foals.

We retired him from showing in 2004 and now offer him for stud to outside mares.

We ship semen all over the United States with successful results  but  we don't always get to see his babies.  Kim Robare, Maryland, bred her Lusitano mare to Exaustivo and she was kind enough to send us a picture of her beautiful colt Donato.

SHANGRILA’S BOLERO
May 9, 2006
16.2 hands, grey

Bred by: Shangrila Farm, Citra, Florida
IALHA registration No. 10457(P)

Sire: Lirio da Cosval 9782(P)
Dam: Orquidea Mor 5858(P) 
Offered: $45,000 firm 
   

Introducing “Bolero”, one of our best stallions, and offered for sale for the first time.  Standing already at 16.2 and still growing, he has the promise to be an outstanding Sport Horse or top breeding stallion for the future.

It is an opportunity to acquire a rare, superior genetic improver for your breeding program.  Bolero brings the exceptional, highly demanded blood of some of the most successful stallions of the Lusitanos, such as -“Novilheiro” the Olympic jumping champion ridden by John Whittaker.  “Novilheiro”  was the greatest champion of the Lusitanian breed of all time.  “Bolero” has world famous Portuguese bloodlines of “Firme”, and “Minuto” on his sire’s side and on his dam’s side, the famous Portuguese stallion of Manuel Veiga “Nilo” and Gold Medalist  “Zico”.  You will find pictures and mention of these horses in the book  Veiga Horses by Alberto Tavares Barreto.  “Bolero” is a wonderful combination of the best of the Veiga and the Andrade bloodlines.

“Bolero” was handled from birth and because he was treated with respect and kindness, this young stallion is a dream to handle.  He plays in the field with his balls like a kid.  He will run the fence line with you talking his special whinny. His ground manners are impeccable.  He is green broke and shows a willingness to work.  Balance, strength and good movement united with his powerful physical presence makes him very special.  His personality demonstrates that he is gentle, loving,  and very proud of his job.  He searches to integrate himself to the rider and transmits a sensation of security.  He returns the love that you give to him.

It is with great regret that we are selling “Bolero”. He will only be sold to the person who is right for “Bolero” because he has a very special place in my heart.

He will make a great addition to your herd as a breeding stallion or a great Sport Horse as your personal mount.
