Stallions at stud

Horse Campline, a brand new Portuguese dressage horse investment company, has launched its stallion catalogue for the 2021 breeding season, featuring some serious, proven Lusitano horse power.

With the announcement of their stallion roster for 2021 Horse Campline deploys its strategy for investing in Lusitano bred horses and positioning the breed as an elite one for dressage. The young company boasts a collection of no less than five pure bred Lusitano stallions on its roster, of which four have already achieved international Grand Prix results with scores over 70%.

Lusitanos to Reach the Highest Eschelons of Dressage

With a current portfolio of over 150 horses, including mares and foals, Horse Campline believes the Lusitano can play a key role in the genetic improvement of the modern dressage horse. The Lusitano's main characteristics are their in-born ability for the collected work and their great character and beauty.

Their importance in high performance dressage sport has been proven by the great evolution the breed made in the last few years: two Lusitano stallions have now scored over 80% in the international show ring, a very rare and unique feat, in a world so far dominated by warmbloods.

The company saw that Portugal's equine sweetheart offers a great opportunity to promote a national product as an exclusive top competition athlete. With that intent, a team has been built of highly recognized professionals in breeding and sports, aiming at being present at the world's most important dressage competitions.

Horse Campline's big bets for the Tokyo Olympics are Brazilian Olympian João Oliva with the stallion Escorial and Portuguese Grand Prix Team Rider Rodrigo Torres with the stallion Fogoso.
