Scorpius V.O - Two year-old - !6.2 H
Dam/Sire - Liberdade V.O X Junto HI
Color - Grey

Among the many qualities of the two year old SCORPIUS VO, his accredited movement for sports performance stands out. His walk is pure "ginga" and the trot shows a perfect cadence as he places his hind legs under his body, firmly and forcefully driving his body forward.

Well developed, SCORPIUS VO is the son of JUNTO HI, a stallion that, in his young production, produced OMERO HI (first generation!), the mount of the Olympian José Antonio Garcia Mena in the World Young Horses Championship in 2023.

SCORPIUS V.O's dam is the LIBERDADE V.O, direct daughter of Champion of Champions BILARA HM, one of the most proven female lines, and his sire ZODIAC DOS DIAMANTES, a stallion also tested and approved in official classic sport competitions.

📖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!!!

Words fail to describe today’s emotions.
Fogoso Campline – the Lusitano of the moment! 🇵🇹💪

Rodrigo Moura Torres and Fogoso Campline entered the ring for their Freestyle at the sound of Pink Floyd with incredible confidence, kicking off their routine with majestic piaffe-passage work! The pair delivered a dazzling performance, literally dancing with great rhythm through technically demanding choreography 🎶

The electrifying energy of the duo passed on to the audience, who could not resist to clap to the sound of the music at the end while Rodrigo, riding one handed and with the biggest proud smile, passaged the center line for their final halt at this Olympics!

It was the personal best for the pair, with a final score of 78.943% and the best score ever for a Lusitano at the Olympic Games! 🙏

A simply outstanding accomplishment - Campline Horses team is extra proud! Congratulations Rodrigo and Fogoso, you are AMAZING! 🤩
