Introducing Our 2027 Lusitano Stallion Breeding Season
Cielo Azure Lusitanos | Jade and Quartz CAL
At Cielo Azure Lusitanos, we are pleased to announce that Jade and Quartz CAL will be available for the 2027 breeding season, offering mare owners the opportunity to breed to two exceptional Lusitano stallions.
Our breeding philosophy has always been straightforward: produce beautiful, athletic, intelligent horses with excellent temperaments, correct conformation, and the versatility for which the Lusitano breed is renowned. Horses that do well in dressage, working equitation and classical dressage.
For 2027, we are offering both fresh semen for local pickup and fresh-cooled semen for overnight shipment, with flexible breeding arrangements designed to accommodate a variety of mares and breeding goals.
Meet Our Stallions
Jade
Jade represents the elegance, presence, and distinctive character that have made the Lusitano horse admired throughout the world.
For breeders seeking to produce an athletic riding horse with classical Iberian qualities, Jade offers an opportunity to incorporate Lusitano bloodlines into their breeding programs.
Whether your goal is a purebred Lusitano or a thoughtfully planned crossbred sport horse, Jade is available for consideration for the 2027 season.
Quartz CAL
Quartz CAL is a homebred Lusitano stallion and a reflection of our breeding program at Cielo Azure Lusitanos.
Standing approximately 17 hands, Quartz combines impressive size with the qualities we value in the modern Lusitano. He has received excellent evaluations through the Portuguese Lusitano studbook system (APSL).
Quartz offers an interesting opportunity for breeders seeking Lusitano bloodlines in a larger-framed horse, particularly those interested in dressage and sport-horse breeding.
As a homebred stallion, Quartz also represents our long-term commitment to developing Lusitanos with athletic potential, quality, and versatility.
2027 Breeding Services
We recognize that every mare and every breeding program is different. For that reason, Cielo Azure Lusitanos offers several options for the 2027 breeding season.
Single-Dose Breeding
For experienced breeders and mare owners working closely with a reproductive veterinarian, we offer a single insemination-ready semen dose at a reduced stud fee. This option does not include a pregnancy or live-foal guarantee.
Breeding-Season Contract
Our standard breeding-season agreement provides access to additional semen collections during the contracted season, subject to the terms of the breeding agreement, collection availability, and veterinary confirmation that the mare is not pregnant.
Premium Live-Foal Guarantee
For qualifying mares, we offer an optional premium breeding contract with a limited live-foal guarantee.
Because reproductive soundness is critical to successful breeding, this option is generally restricted to mares 13 years of age or younger. Older mares may qualify if they have foaled within the preceding 12 months and meet our veterinary requirements.
Additional reproductive evaluations may be required. The guarantee provides a defined rebreeding opportunity under the contract rather than a refund.
Collection, processing, shipping, and related veterinary expenses are charged separately.
Purebred Lusitanos and Crossbreeding Welcome
Although our own breeding program focuses on Lusitanos, we welcome inquiries from owners of other breeds.
Lusitanos have much to offer sport-horse breeding, including natural balance, collection, agility, intelligence, and a willingness to work with their riders.
We are happy to consider mares intended to produce dressage horses, working equitation prospects, pleasure horses, and other athletic crosses.
Mares do not need to be registered with APSL or another breed association to qualify for breeding services.
Fresh and Fresh-Cooled Semen Availability
For the 2027 season, semen will be available through two methods:
Fresh semen for local pickup, coordinated with the mare owner's veterinarian.
Fresh-cooled semen for overnight shipment, subject to collection schedules, shipping availability, and appropriate advance notice.
Note that the stallions will be shown during the 2027 season, so please plan to lets us know your mare’s cycle as soon as possible.
All breeding arrangements require a signed contract and complete mare identification. Repeat collections or shipments require veterinary confirmation of non-pregnancy, as specified in the breeding agreement.
We encourage mare owners to work with an experienced equine reproductive veterinarian and to contact us well in advance of the anticipated breeding date.
Reservations for the 2027 Season
We are now welcoming inquiries and advance reservations for Jade and Quartz CAL.
Our goal is to make the breeding process straightforward, transparent, and professional while giving mare owners flexibility in choosing the arrangement best suited to their breeding plans.

We look forward to helping you plan your 2027 breeding season.
