Intro
Similar to the Aralusian, the Luso-Arabian or Lusitano Arabian is a cross of Lusitano and Arabian bloodlines.
Origins
Both of the foundation breeds have long, distinguished histories and have been bred for so long their breeding is a source of national pride. The crossing of these two bloodlines was established with the goal of developing a livelier and lighter type of Lusitano. The result is a well balanced animal with a powerful build and refined features.
