This Lusitano is on his way to his new home in Idaho 🇵🇹🇺🇸

When we met this Piri in July, we immediately knew he was special. His super soft, kind eye goes beyond his look, he truly is a sweetie boasting a calm, confident attitude with easy contact and lateral work 😍

Congratulations to his new owner, Piri is so lucky to have found a 5⭐️ home with you! Thank you to everyone that made this partnership happen 👏

Thank you Ventura County CDS Keeley Mircetic Shirin Rupprecht Amier Krause Kircher for putting on a great schooling show. It was a great opportunity for some of our boys to get out of the house to see what we need to improve for our next time out 💪

Nice testimonial from a client who participated in Sofia’s clinic in Idaho the past 2 days 👌

Take away from day two of the clinic with Sofia:

Respect is a two way street.

It’s good to respect your horse. It’s important to listen to your horse. But we also need to expect the same from them. Your horse needs to give the same level of respect and response that you’re giving.

If your horse doesn’t respect your cues enough to listen, your skill set can’t grow. And if you don’t listen closely enough to your horse, your relationship will never grow either. You can’t truly have one without the other.

Relationship without skills, knowledge and expectations is a disservice to the horse.

What an honor it was to learn from Sofia and her husband. They are kind, knowledgeable people, and seeing horses and training through their eyes filled my soul.

Here are a few quotes from Sofia Santos Bernardino that I’ll carry with me from this day forward:

“Do what’s best for your horse, not the eyes of others.”

“If we were to die tomorrow, would someone say, ‘This is a nice horse’? Did we ensure a safe future for our horse because we did them the service of training them to the best of their ability?”

SASA Horses X LusoWest 🇵🇹🇺🇸🇧🇷

Behind every equine operation, there are great minds, riders, and workers making a “dream” come true for equestrians across the world. But what we found at SASA was much more. Modern ideals enmeshed with classic principles, time realized as one of the greatest investments to be made to develop their horses and the humans that surround them.

From the foals nursing on their mothers in the fields, to their horses long listed for LA’s 2028 Olympic stage, to the oldest mares and stallions we met that represent the foundation of SASA’s genetics, the standard of excellence curated by this operation was second to none that we have ever experienced before. The quality spoke for itself.

SASA breeds for one clear purpose: to produce true athletes for every kind of rider. Whether you are a dressage enthusiast looking for your next partner to enjoy the journey with, or a professional looking for a top quality mount, it exists with SASA Horses.
And soon, it will exist in North America through us.

We are honored to announce our partnership with SASA Horses and be able to provide a fair, transparent sales experience to clients in search of their next horse ⭐️ Regardless if you are looking for Lusitanos in Brazil, Portugal, or one that we bring to the United States, we are here to walk with you every step of the way 🤝

Congratulations to Kayla Case on achieving 4th place in the B/I Dressage Seat Eq at IEA Nationals! 🏅Kayla has been riding dressage for only a year, started IEA in the winter and has been crushing it ever since 💪

Thank you to Kayla’s family for the trust and privilege to teach such a talented rider, congratulations and thank you to the team for your support 🫶

is an unique program that promotes lifelong involvement in equestrian sports, where youth riders catch ride horses they have never ridden before. Some classes offer a 2 minute warm up, and others no warm up at all, so the score is based upon ones horsemanship and equitation!

Congratulations to Alex Mogharebi on the purchase of Nevao JE 🍾

We first saw this beautiful 9 year old Lusitano gelding as a youngster during our first introduction to SASA JE’s stud farm years ago. What a full circle moment to introduce trainer Raquel Santos to the brand and watch her fall in love with him 😍

A huge thank you to the team at SASA JE, Sergio Santos, Hugo Pereira, and Manuel Raposeiro for your professionalism, patience, and for making this such a seamless and enjoyable experience. It was a pleasure working with you all and we look forward to our future partnerships 🤝
