ENQUIRIES

SAPHIRO

Sire: Umbaba. Dam:Epoca..

APSL approved cremello Lusitano stallion. Solid build with substantial bone and excellent type. Saphiro has a huge overstep at the walk, strong topline, lofty movement, and a rocking canter that is a dream to ride. His profile is classically baroque and his temperament, of course, exceptional!

Imported from Germany as a foal, he has proved himself a prepotent sire in the USA. Saphiro is Agouti dominant colour tested cremello(eeAACrCr with no grey) so his cream gene will be expressed on his foals. His buckskin, palomino and double dilute offspring have more to show for themselves than just their golden coats. They are excelling in all disciplines including dressage, jumping, and working cows.

Now showing in dressage, Saphiro has an incredible work ethic. He can turn on his brio when asked, or be ridden quietly bareback by children.He has an incredible first cycle conception rate.

SONHOS CAVALOS STUD

Home of "Sonhos Zefiro", the first Lusitano purebred (PSL) stallion to be born in NZ in 2004. Zefiro has an estimated maturity height of up to 16hh, an incredibly trainable temperament, excellent conformation and is already developing that 'look at me' X-factor presence that the Lusitano stallion is so famous for.

Zefiro's bloodlines are Veiga and Andrade. His dam is "Paloma", sired by the famous Grand Prix stallion "Diabo". Paloma is APSL graded and 2003's Champion British Bred mare. Zefiro's sire is "Luxo" sired by "Xaquiro" who is famous for producing high quality, competitive horses, representing Portugal at Olympic levels. Luxo is a Grand Prix dressage stallion who holds the highest APSL grading in the UK and who has achieved multiple Supreme Champion titles in-hand and under saddle in both Portugal and the UK.

Sonhos Cavalos Stud was inspired by experiencing the Iberian horse through training in the 'Art of Classical Riding' at Turville Valley Stud in the UK, and travels across Spain and Portugal. Sonhos Cavalos Stud was the first Lusitano Stud farm to be established in NZ and is based in the Waikato.

We aim to produce quality PSL, PRE and PSP horses and train them the Classical way. We hope to make these 'Dream Horses' a reality for anyone who shares in our vision and passion for these incredible horses.
