Diabo

Diabo is the King of the Yard.  One of the first Lusitanos  imported to Turville, he went on to become their most famous stallion. He came over as a rather wild five year old and did all his training here.  He was five times British Champion Lusitano at the breed show, won just about everything freestyle to music, and went to Belgium and won every class he entered.

His displays at Turville were ‘jaw dropping’, in fact Diabo was inspirational in many people becoming fans of the Lusitano Horse.

Although now retired from competition, he took a one-off trip to Royal Windsor, much to the delight of his many fans, and won the prestigious Parade class amongst very stiff competition, proving that he was still the best.

He stood at stud at Turville for a number of years and now has “offpsring” all over the world, reaching as far as America and Australia. Many off his offspring have done very well notably Lucca, whose dam was a Connemara.  We  trained him up to Grand Prix level in British Dressage as well as him winning numerous Iberian classes, both here and in Portugal.

 Diabo now is now enjoying his retirement. He wanders around the yard, chatting to the other stallions over the doors!
