Oxidado Do Castanheiro

Oxidado Do Castanheiro is an exceptional Lusitano stallion combining athleticism, rideability, and outstanding character. Ridden by César Marques, Oxidado qualified to represent Portugal at the prestigious Longines FEI WBFSH Dressage World Breeding Championships for Young Horses in Ermelo, Netherlands in 2024.

Approved with an impressive score of 78.25, we believe Oxidado is currently the highest approved Lusitano stallion standing in the United States. He is a modern, leggy, athletic stallion with excellent movement, natural balance, and elasticity.

His walk is incredibly large with a clear four beat, his trot beautifully ground covering, and his canter wonderfully uphill with significant talent for collection. He possesses a special beauty and embodies the more modern sporty type, while still maintaining the nobility and character that define the Lusitano breed.

Beyond his physical talent, what truly sets Oxidado apart is his exceptional brain. He combines sensitivity with rideability and possesses the kind, intelligent temperament that makes him a joy to work with both in training and in daily handling.

Oxidado represents the modern sporthorse Lusitano while still maintaining the versatility, nobility, and generosity for which the breed is known.
