Set in Lanarkshire, Scotland, we have established
a highly acclaimed stock of pure and part-bred Lusitanos.
We aim to breed horses true to the Lusitano type,
as seen in Portugal.
The Lusitano horse is one of the world's most ancient breeds of horses.
Ridden for over 5,000 years, it has been bred as a saddle horse
in its native land, the Iberian penisula.
The Lusitano horse was the
ultimate
war horse of the middle ages, became the premier high school
horse during the renaissance period, and in modern times, has become
the
ultimate sport horse.
It is as small, compact, elastic horse,
with courage, intelligence and agility which has served him well throughout
history. In modern times, these characteristics have enabled
the Lusitano
to excel in a wide variety of disciplines, including dressage,
show jumping, carriage driving, endurance, bullfighting, and working
equitation.
The stallions standing at the Wyndales
Stud have been carefully chosen as the best possible examples of the breed they represent.
In addition to the pure blood-lines, the Iberian horse compliments the characteristics seen the native horses of the British Isles, and crosses well with both hot- and cold-blooded horses. |
