Lusitano
Interagro
Lusitanos is proud to be hosting the 2012 Lusitano Collection
International Horse Auction in Itapira, Brazil, about an hour
and a half from the bustling Brazilian city of Sao Paulo.
Featuring a hand selected group of Lusitanos offered at auction,
the 2012 Lusitano Collection gives buyers and Lusitano
enthusiasts an unparalleled glimpse into the Interagro operation
and brings the heritage of the modern Lusitano to life.
The 2012
Lusitano Collection will be returning Interagro Lusitanos in
Brazil, which hosted the event in 2004 and 2005. We invite you
to select your Lusitano from amid the rolling tropical landscape
of Itapira, and to experience the unique equestrian culture of
Interagro, where the Gonzaga family has preserved the purest
bloodlines from the breed�s native country of Portugal.
Interagro�s experienced team of trainers, breeders,
international riders, and veterinarians have collaborated to
choose the most promising young horses for the 2012 Lusitano
Collection International Horse Auction. Each Lusitano is
evaluated for its movement, temperament, and potential for
competitive endeavors. In addition, each guest will be able to
experience an individual horse�s living pedigree: the sire, dam,
and related horses that live, train, and continue the Lusitano
legacy at Interagro. Guests will enjoy Brazilian culture and
entertainment while test riding and selecting their Lusitano,
followed by the auction itself. The picadero, or indoor arena,
at Interagro is transformed; elegance and equestrianism meet,
creating the atmosphere of an upscale gala centered around the
magnificent Lusitanos presented at auction. Sip exotic wines,
enjoy Brazilian cuisine, and feel the rhythm of the samba as one
horse after another is auctioned off to their new owners. During
the days leading up to the auction, guests are encouraged to
enjoy a carriage ride or trail ride through Interagro�s acres of
lush tropical landscape, where monkeys leap through the trees.
Take in Brazilian vistas of rolling green hills where young
Lusitanos graze, or visit the neighboring village of Holambra,
known for its tulips and Dutch bakery. The opportunities are as
endless as the history, landscape, and unique equestrian culture
of Brazil.
The
Lusitanos presented at the 2012 Lusitano Collection are
carefully observed and evaluated at every stage of their
development, from halter training to trailering. Interagro
brings each of its young horses along slowly as they begin their
training, following longstanding techniques to ensure the
horses� confidence and correct development. Interagro�s riders,
some of which are third generation Interagro employees, begin
the under saddle work and closely follow classical dressage
principles. Only horses with the maturity, athleticism,
temperament, and potential for FEI level endeavors are selected
to participate in the Auction. Guests have the opportunity to
test ride the horses before the auction as well as view
up-to-date veterinary records including recent X-rays. All of
the Lusitanos will also meet international export requirements,
and all exportation paperwork will be handled at the auction by
a team of professionals.
