Lusitano Gelding | FEI Dressage

Norte DC is a 9-year-old dark bay Lusitano gelding with proven talent and competition experience through the FEI Intermediate I level. He combines classic Lusitano quality with modern sport-horse athleticism, making him an exceptional prospect for upper-level dressage.

Bred from some of the most influential bloodlines in modern Lusitano dressage, Norte DC is sired by Escorial, a stallion who has revolutionized the breed with his greatness, expressive athletic gaits, and powerful collection. His dam, Raina III, was an imported mare from Portugal who helped establish the foundation of Haras dos Cavaleiros, producing modern, athletic sport horses. Norte DC stands as one of the most remarkable examples of this breeding program, representing a strong, correct, and highly respected Lusitano.

In 2024, Norte DC earned the title of USEF Region 9 Third Level Regional Champion, confirming his quality, consistency, and competitiveness in the show ring. He continued his successful career in 2025, competing at the FEI Prix St. Georges, where he achieved multiple High Point scores above 70%, demonstrating reliability, expressive movement, and excellent rideability.

In 2026, Norte DC is expected to confirm FEI Intermediate I, further solidifying his potential for upper-level competition.

This is an excellent opportunity to acquire a successful FEI Lusitano with a championship record, solid training, and continued potential for high-level dressage.
