For its third consecutive year in the U.S., The 2010 Lusitano Collection™ International Horse Auction is presenting a select group of 30 horses from two of the most prominent Lusitano breeders in Brazil - Interagro Farms, the largest Lusitano breeder and exporter in the world, and Coudelaria Rocas do Vouga.

Scheduled to take place February 24 through the 27, 2010, at the 111-acre Jim Brandon Equestrian Center in West Palm Beach, Florida, the auction of this prestigious Collection gives interested buyers the opportunity to purchase Brazilian horses without the hassle of import fees or quarantine periods. The event provides interested buyers with the unique opportunity to meet with and buy directly from the breeders, rather than an agent, while enjoying the additional benefits of test-riding all of the horses and viewing their veterinarian records, including most recent x-rays.

An experienced professional team, composed of the breeders, international riders and veterinarians, work together throughout the year to handpick the healthiest, most desirable FEI™ quality sport horses for the auction in Florida. These Lusitanos, which are born on the breeders’ farms, are carefully handled at every stage of development, from halter training to trailer loading and standing in cross ties before they even begin training under saddle. A supervised group of highly skilled riders works with the horses using classical dressage methods. Only the horses that possess three correct gaits, demonstrate a positive attitude, and are considered to be mature continue in the training program. Many of them compete in local horse shows before traveling to the U.S.

The first three presentations of The Lusitano Collection™ were held at Interagro Farms in Itapira, Sao Paulo, Brazil. For the convenience of North American Lusitano enthusiasts, The Lusitano Collection™ made its debut in the United States at a highly successful auction during Florida’s world renowned Winter Equestrian Festival in 2008 and has since become an established presence in the equestrian event calendar.

The 2010 Lusitano Collection™ International Horse Auction encompasses a multi-faceted experience that extends far beyond that of a simple horse auction. It is a social and equestrian event that continues to draw previous buyers, trainers, former Olympians and horse lovers across North and South America.

The 2010 Lusitano Collection™ sponsors include Canadian Horse Journal, Cantor & Webb P.A, Dressage Today, Equestrian Aid Foundation, Horse Connection, Palm Beach Post, The Jim Brandon Equestrian Center and Warmblood Today.
