Universo's sire is Edo (Universo x Bonito), Lusitano Champion &
"Absolute" Champion in class for model and gaits at Fatacil Fair,
Lagoa, (Algarve) August 1992. Lusitano Champion in stallion class
for 4 years and over shown under saddle, with two gold medals &
title of "Excellent" at Ovibeja in March 1993. Edo was used as
breeding stallions and were also performing in classical exhibitions
at the Morgado Lusitano Training Centre, with Xiwara. Edo has been a
multi national champion in Portugal with exceptionally high grading
marks and strong Manuel Tavares Veiga bloodlines.
Universo's dam is
Borboleta (Herds. de Jose Infante da Camara/Francisco Lobo de
Vasconcellos/Terry), who has produced excellent strong stock,
passing on her superb temperament.
Universo physically
developed slowly and was backed as a four year old, being brought on
correctly and without pressure. His paces, cadence, balance and
ridden work are excellent and correct and he is ready to be taken to
the next levels, where his tremendous potential can be realised. He
closely resembles his sire, a 'Schoolmaster' as well as a breeding
stallion, who has (and continues) to perform in exhibitions of Alta
Escuela (High School) in England and Spain (recently in the bullring
at Tobarra, Albacete). |
