Dam: Barqueira (RC)
Agamemnon’s Dam, Barqueira (RC), [Vingador (RC) x Saloia II (MV)] was
imported from the Portuguese breeder Arsenio Raposo Cordeiro with the
purpose of introducing the Novilheiro (MV)/Firme(SA) lineage into the
Interagro horse. Saloia II (MV) is a daughter of Guerrita (MV),
Novilheiro’s dam. Barqueira has an Interagro progeny of six, including
Trinco Interagro who performed at the 2007 FEI® Word Cup in Las Vegas.
From his sire, Ofensor (MV) – the most important Lusitano stallion alive -
Agamemnon inherits the same genealogies, thus carrying a strong but
balanced consanguinity with strengthened potential. When introducing these
famous lineages into any breeding program, it is important to use both the
paternal and the maternal side of the pedigree, according to the study of
the Lusitano genealogies published by Interagro. Following this objective,
Interagro has acquired excellent stallions and mares from the top and
lower lines in order to assure the full contribution of the desired
genealogies in the development of the Interagro lineage. Agamemnon is a
perfect example of this achievement. Along with the qualities listed in
the trainer’s opinion below, Agamemnon is a promising young stallion with
one of the best pedigrees in the modern Lusitano. Because of Agamemnon’s
exemplary pedigree, Interagro included him as one of the stallions in the
2008 and 2009 breeding program where he produced two sons. This is a
unique opportunity to acquire such an exceptional horse.

Trainer’s opinion: Agamemnon Interagro, a powerful, elegant and exciting horse to watch,
is a pure Veiga stallion -- the ultimate combination of bullfighting
horse and competition dressage horse. This beautiful, young horse already
has the qualities of a champion and the presence of a king! Agamemnon Interagro’s energy and charisma make him seem much bigger than he
measures. His ability to collect is a given as his physique is built for
engagement and carry power. He also has the ability to extend; he
demonstrates his pushing power while lengthening his stride. Agamemnon
Interagro is a stallion who will give his rider the feeling of hot power.
He will be best for a very experienced rider or professional who enjoys a
hot expressive horse and one that works best with subtle aids. His rider
will need to be quiet, patient and calm. Like many Ofensor (MV) stallions
Interagro has sold before, he will need more attention spent on developing
the elasticity for the cadenced trot required at top level dressage. His
gift to his trainer will be the FEI® three “P’s” --pirouettes, passage and
piaffe! Agamemnon Interagro’s mother, Barqueira (RC), is the mother of
Trinco Interagro (lincar) who performed at the 2007 FEI® World Cup in Las
Vegas. His famous father, Ofensor (MV), is considered one of the best
Lusitano stallions of the present generation. Along with many other
accomplishments, Ofensor was awarded the title of “Best Head of Progeny”
at the 2003 Lisbon International Show. Ofensor has produced many beautiful
and successful horses in Portugal and Brazil. He has demonstrated, beyond
any doubt, through his offspring, that he is one of the best Lusitano
sires of all times. Agamemnon Interagro is a fantastic representative of
the 2010 Collection.
Sire: Ofensor (MV)
