| Imported
to England by CONQUELL LUSITANOS (Hilary Linnett), where after extensive training Juno became Multiple Breed Champion under visiting Portuguese judges. He also competed very successfully in Affiliated Dressage, Combined Training competitions, Cross Country and Riding Horse competitions- becoming
one of the Top Winning and Most Versatile Lusitanos in
the United Kingdom. |

|
| Our
aim, as a small stud, is to breed from carefully selected
stock whom maintain the truly typical character,
conformation, type and versatility of the Lusitano
Horse. Our
foundation Stallion has proved his versatility, trainability and correctness of "type", therefore we feel we have an excellent foundation from which to breed looking to the future of the Lusitano horse. |
