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?
