THE DANISH HOME TO THE PORTUGUESE BREED

The beautiful farm in Denmark was built in 2005 as a studfarm for some of the best jumping horses in Denmark at the time. Only the best was good enough and we fell completely in love with the tiny castle in the southern part of Denmark. A spacious farm with 30 hectares of land, where we produce our own hay and have lush fields for the Stud farm to have the best facilities for the mares, foals and young horses to roam and enjoy the green pastures provided by the cooler Danish climate. With everything needed to run a studfarm, we now have the perfect place to continue breeding the Portuguese Lusitano and share it's fabulous abilities with even more people.

The stables are isolated and warm in the cold winters, and equally cool during the summer. The stabled stallions and Schoolmasters have spacious ballroom like boxstalls, and the mares and youngsters live in free range stables, allowing them a natural and yet protected life in larger groups. The slightly majestic feel to the farm, near famous Castles in the region seemed the perfect place for the Portuguese "sons of the wind" to grow up, and we are delighted to welcome you to our home. It is our goal to make this a Lusitano Home-away-from-Home and present the worlds best breed in the best possible way. 

FROM A HORSEGIRL'S DREAM TO A FAMILY PROJECT

"Ever since I can remember I've dreamed of a way to make horses not only my life but also a way of living. When I journeyed to Portugal I had no idea I would come back to Denmark almost a decade later with the dream fulfilled and a wonderful boyfriend who also loves horses to go with it. Daniel and I started working together in 2015 and in 2017 we opened our own business 'One World Equestrian Center' in Portugal. A place where we offered riding clinics on highly trained schoolmasters, had horses in training and for sale and began our breeding project. It grew rapidly and we reinforced the studfarm with strong mares and a few new stallions over the years. Daniel does everything but ride the horses - he prefers his feet on the ground. With an eye for the tiniest details he takes care of mares, foals and youngsters and we work together on starting young horses under saddle.

 This life where there is rarely a day off and always lots to do is a style of living you have to love - fortunately we share the passion and love for all that comes with this job. I think that is the reason we have made it all happen and are so happy together. We do everything ourselves, from fixing fences to collecting semen and inseminating mares. maintaining the farm and training the horses. But of course all of this can't be done by only us. We have a great team of veterinarians, farrier, grooms and also friends and family who all help us make dreams a reality. We are very thankful for our amazing team who in each their way contribute. The entire 'family'  supporting us and our beautiful Lusitanos is both given, and chosen people who we couldn't do without. A special thank you goes to our foundation stallion Vitorino, who opened doors and made way for dreams to come true."
