Opal FAQs

What is a Lusitano?
The Lusitano is a graceful horse breed from Portugal, often called the oldest saddle horse in the world. Lusitanos are famous for their natural talent in dressage, and grey is one of their most common colours, which inspired Opal's elegant white look.

Where does the name "Lusitano" come from?
The name comes from Lusitania, the ancient Roman name for Portugal. Lusitanos and Spanish Andalusians were once considered the same breed, until their stud books were separated in the 1960s.

What is a baroque horse?
Baroque horses, like the Lusitano, Andalusian, and Friesian, are known for their strong arched necks, powerful builds, and long flowing manes. They have been favourites for classical dressage and royal riding for centuries.
