Unique Opportunity Being Offered to Breeders at the 11th International Luso-Brasileiro Auction
Violino is a son of Veiga stud farm’s legendary sire Ofensor, out of Querida, a Sociedade das Silveiras mare and daughter of the famous Invulgar. Bred by José Henriques Casquinha, Invulgar was champion of the three-year-old class at the International Lusitano Festival in Lisbon, and father of various champions and bullfighting horses. Violino
himself has never been beaten in competition, winning various age-group
championships and also producing offspring that are claiming coveted
victories.
In 2003,
Violino was the yearling gold medalist at the International Lusitano
Festival, and one year later was two-year-old class champion and
also male champion of champions at the same event. In 2005 Violino
became the three-year-old class champion and Lusitano breed champion
at the National Horse Fair in Golegã. As a four-year-old,
Violino was ridden class champion and successfully defended his breed
champion’s title, again in Golegã.
Following
in his sires footsteps, and inheriting his stunning qualities, Belmonte,
one of Violino’s first sons, became the yearling gold medalist
at the International Lusitano Festival in 2007.
The
shares will be made available to the successful buyers on the basis
of receiving two annual coverings in 2008, 2009 and 2010, which represents
an outstanding investment given the rising costs of stallion services,
especially those of such remarkable sires as Violino SS.
The
auction will also offer an exceptional collection of carefully selected
Lusitano horses encompassing a wide range of ages and sought-after
bloodlines: from foals at foot to arena-ready, well-trained dressage
horses. Continuing our previous profiling, and starting with the
males:
• Zinco
VO: Showing exceptional movement and already competing, the dam of
this rising five-year-old is pure Andrade (daughter of Dragão
II x Elmshorn), while his sire, Ravel VO, is a son of Venturoso III,
one of the most important Veiga stallions.
•Zorro
VO: Very docile and making beautiful progress, this tall burnt-chestnut
stallion is now ready to fulfill his career functions. A son of Icaro,
he is one of the most powerfully built stallions at this auction.
• Xalaça
VP: A son of Donaire and Quica HI, by Quarteto do Top. This dark-buckskin
stallion, bred by Fernando Prado Ferreira, is very well saddled and
has a docile and generous temperament. He is one of the highlights
of the 11th Internation Luso-Brasileiro Auction, as were his brothers,
Ultraje VO, Urbe, Sopro de Quintana, Tander do Bosaque, Tamboré HM,
and Thor VO (all exported to the USA) in previous years.
• Xerox
do Castanheiro: A future champion – this beautiful grey stallion
carries the blood of Malmequer, and is ready for competition training.
Among
the mares:
• Avelã VO:
An exceptional type, Avelã VO’s bloodline carries
important names such as Andaluz UB, Universo, Lidador II, Canalha
and Guizo. In foal to Quadro do Top, this mare will be a leader in
any breeding programme.
• Zafira
dos Filhos do Vento: A young mare with an enviable pedigree. A daughter
of Pardal and Música dos Filhos Vento, she represents the
most sought-after Veiga/Andrade blood. She is the epitome of lightness
and beauty, and also in foal to Quadro do Top.
Finally …
• Zagaia
and Zurco VO: An incredible opportunity to acquire a fully-trained,
matched pair of Lusitano mares; sisters and cousins, daughters of
Icaro from two daughters of Bandarilha APP. A spectacular driving
duo, also well saddled and showing exceptional progress. To complete
the package, Ilha Verde is optionally offering a covering service
by one of its excellent stallions.
These
Lusitano profiles offer a brief insight into some 30 lots that will
be offered during the 11th International Luso-Brasileiro Auction,
scheduled to take place at Coudelaria Ilha verde on Saturday, May
10th, 2008.
