An AMERITANO is a special cross between two horses famous for versatility and performance - the Portuguese LUSITANO - and the NATIONAL FOUNDATION QUARTER HORSE (NFQHA). If one parent is an IALHA S/P it must be a minimum of 75% LUSITANO (no more than 25% Andalusian).
If you are looking for a great Using Horse that will be a joy to train and ride, the Ameritano may be the horse for you! Combining beauty, athleticism, smooth graceful movement and natural cow sense the Ameritano will be an all around horse from working equitation to ranch horse.
AMERITANOS can be registered with IALHA & Ameritano Registry & make awesome Working Equitation Prospects.
AMERITANOS can compete in USDF & IALHA events as well as NRHA, NCHA, Mounted Shooting, Jousting, and many other events as well as being an exceptional pleasure and ranch horse.
Jaz Ranch has been a premier breeder of NFQHA Foundation Quarter Horses for 28 years ~ and we feel our NFQHA grulla mares are the perfect cross for our Lusitano stallion, E Preto - combining the best of both worlds. (Of course we are also still producing some NFQHA Foundation Quarter Horse babies!)
Now Available - prospects by IALHA National Champion, E Preto, out of NFQHA mares.
