The right horse
Lusitanohengst
Iwas a typical girl with the dream of having my own horse. I would diligently save my pocket money, and the images in horse market ads were my favorite reads. A Portuguese stallion in dark brown or black was the vision for the distant future. Many years later, long after I thought the dream of owning a horse had faded, there he stood before me! A stallion with that enchanting expression I had always longed for, leaving me with knees as soft as butter.
A GRACEFUL GREY STOLE MY HEART!
There was something in this horse that felt entirely new to me. Despite his charismatic demeanor and hints of talent, his behavior and lack of basic training painted a picture of utter chaos – he was a total uncooperative challenge! Nevertheless, I held onto my belief in this exceptionally special horse, and as it turned out, I was right!

My relentless ambition and unshakeable belief paved our way to the stallion approval in Wickrath in 2010, where, among a robust field of 14 approved stallions, he secured the 5th position in Germany.
a dream horse for life?
For those familiar with Lusitanos, there's an exciting pilot project,allowing a Lusitano stallion to contribute to Oldenburg breeding. This initiative aims to enhance warmblood quality, particularly in terms of collection, by introducing Lusitano traits. Zimbabue has already showcased his refining qualities in warmblood breeding and is now available for breeding with your mare. What distinguishes him as a breeding stallion is not just his striking appearance but also his unwavering performance, which he generously passes on to his offspring. With an uphill build, natural elevation, and three consistently excellent basic gaits, he exhibits cadenced movements and elasticity beyond the standards of his breed. A modern type, showcasing his prowess in the Piaffe-Passage tour and pirouettes, truly making him a Grand Prix talent."

An athlete
through and through!
From crown to hoof, Zimbabue embodies the essence of a true sportsman! His remarkable performance and character shine brightest in the competitive arena. Undoubtedly, his courage and fearlessness stem from his paternal Veiga lines, steeped in the traditions of bullfighting, renowned for its robust character and exceptional rideability. Zimbabue holds the prestigious approval and registration as a breeding stallion for the Lusitano breed by the Portuguese association, „Associação Portuguesa de Criadores do Cavalo Puro Sangue Lusitano“ (APSL) This guarantees your foal, born from equally approved Lusitano mares, a complete and authentic APSL paper. Even if, as is often customary in Portugal, you breed from a Thoroughbred or Warmblood mare in Austria, you may not receive a complete pedigree, but you will undoubtedly have a horse with nerves of steel, a strong back, and a high level of willingness to collect!"

Please direct your covering requests in a timely manner at the beginning of each year so that scheduling around breeding commitments can be horse-friendly. Mating can be arranged through natural service or fresh semen shipping, with the latter option subject to the number of requests per breeding season. Since 2023, Zimbabue is available for covering in the Porto region of Portugal. As a responsible stallion owner, I reserve the right to decline unsuitable requests for the well-being of the stallion.
