Noche Paloma
S/P, Andalusian and Lusitano
This majestic black champion mare stands 16:1 hands tall. Her pedigree boasts the best Spanish
and Portuguese blood. As a three year old, Noche was named champion at the NE Classical Breed
show. Later she became a Champion at the Eastern Regional Andalusian & Lusitano show. Needless to
say, Noche has brought rave revues everywhere she has been presented. Her offspring have followed
in her illustrious footsteps. For example her son, Belmonte II TCV, has proven himself in both
halter and open dressage competition by winning many IALHA, USEF, and USDF titles. Noche is one
of the cornerstone mares in our dressage breeding program. She produces size, substance, competitive
movement, along with a great possibility of elegant black color. We are expecting her future
foals to be magnificent prospects for both halter and open dressage competition.
Tarumandai Do Penagono
Lusitano
Tarumandai, or "Taru," as we affectionately call her, is one of our premiere Lusitano breeding mares.
She stands an impressive 16.2+ hands tall and her presence is a site to behold. As she moves through
the field, her gaits are fluid, open, and slow. Your attention gravitates toward her, regardless of
your will! We are very excited about her foals and the promise they will show in the equestrian world.
Xira Do Retiro
Lusitano
Xira is a beautiful and rare, dark buckskin Lusitano mare whose sire is Dardo II and dam is
Orla Do Top. Her bloodlines are quite impressive, producing champions in her homeland of
Brazil. Her foals have wonderful personalities as well as varieties of color, and beautiful
movement.
Ssirena
Lusitano
We were told that Ssirena has one of the rarest bloodlines in the United States. Her
sire is the amazing, 100% Andrade stallion, IRREAL, from the Vilhena d'Andrade Stud
in Portugal. IRREAL was brought to the United States and then imported to Australia
where he is an ambassador of the Lusitano breed. This pure Andrade copper bay stallion
has stamped his foals with his classical conformation and superb temperament. At 3
years old he was the champion at the prestigious Stallion Feria at Golega, Portugal.
Classically trained and a successful Champion at Grand Prix, IRREAL has magnificent
conformation, great character, three generous gaits including an amazing extension, and
an 'unreal' temperament. He has sired numerous progeny in the USA and our Ssirena is one.
DEM Da Leche
Lusitano
This filly wants only to be with her people. She is out of our bay mare, Zafra Do Retiro,
and the 16H Brazilian cremello stallion, Unicornio Do Retiro. Her grandsire, Othelo Do
Retiro, is the best scored Isabel in the world with a 79 point score.
Currently, Don E Mor is not standing any stallions for stud. However, you can view below a few of the Lusitano stallions we have bred our mares to in the past.
