What an exciting opportunity for a breeder, whether you're expanding an established programme or dreaming of starting one of your own! At just four years old, this beautiful Lusitano mare has already begun her breeding career in the most promising way, welcoming her first foal into the world. Licensed for breeding with 72 points and piro-free, she is a feminine, modern-looking mare with harmonious conformation and three correct gaits showing natural elasticity, lightness and expression.

Her pedigree is another reason to take a closer look. A daughter of Viheste AR, an Olympic Lusitano stallion, and a granddaughter of Riopele, a renowned 5* Merit Stallion, she carries an impressive genetic heritage that makes her particularly interesting for future breeding plans. And her breeding career couldn't have started on a more exciting note! Between the filming of her catalogue presentation and its publication, she welcomed her very first foal, a beautiful youngster by Nuelo das Lezírias, a stallion internationally recognised for his modern type and exceptional dressage aptitude, who is already working at Grand Prix level. This first cross brings together classical Lusitano bloodlines with modern sport genetics, offering a promising glimpse of what this young mare could produce in the years ahead. As her foal arrived after our original filming, new photographs and videos of both the mare and her newborn will be added to our catalogue as soon as possible. In the meantime, please don't hesitate to contact our team for further information or to request the latest updates. Her breeding journey is already moving towards its next chapter, as she is currently being bred to Nobre do Saramunheiro and will be offered in foal to this stallion. This gives her future owner the exciting prospect of welcoming another foal from a different cross.

Beyond breeding, her quality movement and pleasant temperament also raise the possibility of developing her as a riding horse while continuing to produce offspring through embryo transfer. This would naturally depend on further assessment and appropriate training, but could be an interesting option for someone wishing to explore both sides of her potential. Buyers will have the flexibility to consider the mare and her first foal together or separately. The mare will, in either case, be offered in foal to Nobre do Saramunheiro, while her newborn will remain alongside his mother until he is appropriately weaned.

Offered at the Rocas do Vouga Auction 2026, she represents a lovely opportunity to acquire a young, licensed Lusitano mare with distinguished genetics, her first offspring already on the ground and another exciting breeding prospect ahead. Could she be the next addition to your breeding programme? Whether you're interested in the mare, her foal or both, we'd love to explore the possibilities with you. Get in touch with the Lusitano World team at horses@lusitanoworld.com.
