Itapira, Brazil (June 4, 2012) – Interagro Lusitanos regularly hosts riders, trainers, clients, photographers, and Lusitano aficionados who are drawn to the horses, history, and breathtaking natural beauty of the 1200-acre farm outside of São Paulo in Brazil. Most recently the names on Interagro’s guest list included Dr. Hilary Clayton, the world-renowned equine biomechanics expert, and Patricia Lasko, the editor of Dressage Today magazine. Lasko and Dr. Clayton spent their week at Interagro immersing themselves in every aspect of the Lusitano horses while simultaneously enjoying the Brazilian hospitality and breathtaking scenery of Interagro.
Dr. Clayton, a veterinarian, author, and equestrian revered for her research on the biomechanics of the equine gait, was a keynote speaker at the Il Caballiana veterinary seminar in Itupeva, Brazil on April 21-22, 2012. But before heading to the seminar, Dr. Clayton indulged her passion for the Lusitano horse with a stay at Interagro Lusitanos, the largest breeder and exporter of Lusitano horses in the world. Dr Clayton’s visit coincided with Patricia Lasko’s, the current editor of Dressage Today, the world’s foremost magazine dedicated to the discipline of dressage, the riders, and training the horse.
