The Royal Lusitano 
Is set in a tranquil setting just a few
 minutes west of downtown Saint Charles Illinois. 
We are a breeding/sales/training/lesson
 facility for the Lusitano horse.
Our horses come from the finest quality
Lusitano stock Brazil has to offer. 
Our standing Stallions have been imported from Brazil, 
we offer you the opportunity to breed your mares
to Stallions located in the United States.
 
Not just a fancy Dressage horse, daring Bullfighting horse
or a beautiful Baroque Horse 
the Lusitano is still the brave athlete he
was thousands of years ago.  
We, at The Royal Lusitano, endeavor to bring the best of these
lines to the United States in proven high school
performing stallions and quality mares.
These horses are the king of classical dressage
and high school, combining incredible strength and power,
a desire to please and a calm mind in the midst of
 turmoil along with a protective spirit towad the rider.
