TONICO DO TOP, owner Linda Denniston (MD), rider Felicitas Von Neumann-Cosel (MD)—2015 Grand Prix Open & Mus. Freestyle (Intl. Andalusian & Lusitano Horse Assn.—Purebred)
We are celebrating the Lusitano as our February Breed of the Month on YourDressage! We recently asked our social media followers to share a photo of their favorite Lusitano or cross for a chance to be featured in an upcoming gallery on YourDressage! All month long we will be sharing stories from folks who love this breed.
Did you know that dressage riders who choose Lusitanos as their mounts are eligible for special awards through the Adequan®/USDF All-Breeds Awards program, as the US Lusitano Association and the International Andalusian & Lusitano Horse Association IALHA are both participating organizations?
For our USDF Flashback this week we take a look back on some past All-Breed winners from 2010 to 2019 that appeared in the USDF Connection Yearbooks.
