- Glossy brown eyes – with a dark brown felt surround for a warm, gentle expression
- Shaded grey muzzle – a lifelike detail, just like a real grey horse

Handmade with Love
Every Opal is carefully handmade and hand-shaded, which means each horse is truly one of a kind. Small variations in coat tone, muzzle shading, and mane length are part of its handmade charm – so your horse may look slightly different from the photos, making it uniquely yours.

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.
