Great information!

📖USLA EDUCATION:

NAMING YOUR LUSITANO

Lusitano names follow a specific naming scheme, where the first letter of the horse's name must be sequential to the Portuguese alphabet, corresponding to the year of birth in the Northern Hemisphere beginning Nov. 1.

The letters K, Y and W are excluded from the alphabet.

For horses born in the Southern Hemisphere that same letter is used between July 1 of the preceding year and June 30 of the following year because of where their breeding season falls during the year.

Which is why you may have noticed, a horse that was born for instance in Brazil, may be off a letter from the same year as a horse born in Portugal.

The United States and Canada fall under the Northern Hemisphere rule which begins on Nov. 1. So, breeders must honor this naming convention when naming their Lusitanos. If this is not done, APSL will automatically insert the current year's letter followed by a hyphen at the beginning of the name of the horse, thus becoming part of the horse's official name.

2024 is the letter "U"

Give us your suggestions for foal names beginning with the letter U!!!

Le pur sang lusitanien est considéré comme le plus ancien cheval de selle du monde.
Le cheval ibère fut considéré pendant des siècles comme la race de prédilection pour la guerre, la parade, la haute école et la tauromachie. Il a fortement marqué l’équitation, l’art et la littérature mondiale ainsi que le fond génétique de très nombreuses races équines - le Frison, le Connemara, le Holstein, le Oldenbourg, le Lippizan, le Kladruber, le Cleveland bay et les lignées femelles de Pur Sang Anglais.
Cheval au sang chaud comme le Pur Sang et l’Arabe, le Lusitanien est le produit d‘une longue sélection. Ce cheval réunit de multiplequalités. Par sa noblesse, sa docilité, son agilité et son grand courage, il est la monture idéale de sport et de loisir.

“La impulsión no es lo que muchos creen y predican: "¡Empuja sobre la mano, que el caballo está tenso, enérgico, y eso es todo!" El caballo en la impulsión es el que se mueve al ritmo que queremos, desplegando siempre la misma energía, en la actitud que queremos, sin la asistencia de las ayudas, el mayor tiempo posible. El jinete de doma actual haría bien en saber cómo se comportaría su caballo en senderos de montaña, cruzando zanjas y barreras naturales o si volviendo al pasado, tuviera que defender su vida, con las riendas en una mano y la espada o el sable en la otra. La ligereza no es solo, que el caballo no pese en las riendas. Consiste principalmente en tener un caballo que, por su vivacidad, su energía, conserva la actitud y el movimiento necesarios, el mayor tiempo posible, sin que las ayudas lo soliciten. Para obtener esta ligereza, no solo debe prestar cuidado a las directrices, sino especialmente, a la velocidad de interpretación de las sensaciones dadas por el caballo”. Nuno Oliveira.
