That he values mares as much or more than stallions and advocates riding the mare impresses me greatly. It’s the philosophy of every great breeder I’ve ever read about. I am also happy to see him committed to preserving the essence of the Lusitano while seeking improvements. Trying to turn Iberian breeds into warmbloods loses the foundation of what makes them unique and great horses. I own a PRE and they share many characteristics of the Lusitano, including wonderful temperaments. I grew up riding other breeds, but after owning my fellow for 17 years I am committed to the Iberian horses. In fact, I would love my next horse to be a Lusitano. 😊
I agree and I find it sad that they select more and more towards the Dressage market …it’s just all about the Money…Iberian or Lusitanos are simply smaller…brave Horses bred for working on the Bulls and keeping the Family happy also..
By far this one has been the best breeder and place that the HorseWorld TV team has visited! Breeding and animal welfare go hand in hand at this place! Congratulations!!
I own a Lusitano gelding imported from Spain, he is the hardest and at the same time easiest horse I’ve ever had. He mirrors my energy and is constantly thinking what to do next when I work with him, which can be exhausting and overwhelming for the both of us sometimes. I’ve got adhd and anxiety and our personalities are very similar😂😅 i feel like he is my twin flame in animal form, even though it can be a challenge to ride him, I also feel at home and complete when I spend time with him❤ Lusitanos are very smart and attentive, I kinda think of them as the Border Collies or Australian Shepherds of the horse world
I am from Portugal and despite already knowing all this information about Monte Velho, it moved me greatly to see Ecuador’s story portrayed in a such a way ❤ thank you
Once you go to Portugal and experience these horses your eyes are opened, not only beautiful but amazing sensitivity and character. There’s a reason they are becoming so popular. I’m glad the breeders are getting the recognition their horses deserve
Simply amazing in every way. My dream is that every breeder of every species of animal would be as thoughtful and conscientious with their breeding program as this man is. What stunning horses!
That was an amazing video! I learned a great deal and it was wonderful to listen to a true horseman discuss his journey and the horses in his life. The care and love given to his horses is awesome! ❤
My sister owned a horse as a teen but I never have. But as a senior I have become fascinated with watching 😅 about horses. I so enjoyed your video. The passion with which you talk about your horses and the breeding program is amazing. I wish everyone that breeds any type of animal would take the care that you do in selecting the mares as well as the studs. Love to you all. ❤❤❤
This is the most wholesome content that leaves a smile on my face ❤. I love to see such passion and care and love for horses. And they are so so cute!! ❤
Is this breed good for eventing and endurance? Such beautiful horses and wonderful facility. What a wonderful and enlightenedl owner. A blessing to the horses and the world. Need this kind of mentality across all professions and endeavors❤
Fantastic advise whatever the animal your breeding, your female line is so important it’s the foundation of your stock, the building blocks and should be valued highly like this man advocates

Wonderful to see the mares with their foals in a herd out in nature. Beautiful horses and the love and care for them 🙏
I love how friendly all the horses are!!! They come up to the presenter and seek attention and love as if they were puppies! I love friendly horses!
You really feel the love from all the horses out in the field, seems like a wonderful owner!

They have a lot of Arabian horses blood if I remember well.

Really enjoyed this video and hearing this breeder share his vision. Hope to be a Lusitano owner someday.

This makes me miss Portugal
I love that he is covered in hair..so natural.
Great video!
Lindos, adorei o video
Great video.
Impressiv stud farm. Best ever learned of.
Rye grass? I wonder if they ever have problems with staggers. Would be interesting to see how they manage it
I am so very impressed 🐴💖.. I stay in Indonesia
Good and nice, breeder,
❤
Why are the manes of the mares shaven?
My dream man ❤❤❤
Right? Does he grow wine too?
@@RobinTaylorLandry 🤣
Sooo pretty! Weird question....... why do u shave the manes off? Or do they get born like that? Dont know anything about this breed
He explaines it in the video
@ 11:18
But why buzz the manes? It's their natural flyrepeller? Very well taken care off, large pastures and freetime!
@ 11:18
Less attacked by flies? And ticks? I dont understand why though, wild horses dont have buzzed manes and they do fine@@keojiabrown6807
Beautiful horse. Why do you shave the manes and forelocks though? They literally now have no protection against flies, wind, etc…
If you watch the video, he explains why it is necessary.
