This stud is up into two Stud-farms, “Alto do Castelo” in Alpiarça and “Quinta da Caridade “ in Cartaxo.
It was formed on the basis of “Quina” mares in addition to five granddaughters of the famous “ Firme” and we now have mares who are daughters of “ Zique”, “Urque”, “ Ribatejo”, “ Coral”, “ Opus “, “ Trinco”, “ Nilo” and “ Novilheiro”.
Various premiated horses are the pride of the owner.

The stud’s owner is a professional horseman (FEP and FEI certified riding instructor) and working equitation devotee, having, in addition to other titles, won the European Team Championship in 2001; World Team Championship in 2002; in addition to being the individual European Champion and team bronze medal winner in 2003 and Masters Champion, winning the Engº Sommer d´Andrade trophy in 2003. The stud is therefore geared to functionality, particularly working equitation, dressage and bullfighting horses.       

Our current stallion is “ Perito”( CF brand), who was Champion of Champions at Golegã´s Feira de S. Martinho in 1999 and winner of the National Stallions Championship at the National Agriculture Fair, in  Santarém in 2004. At Quinta da Caridade, we organise Dressage and Working Equitation courses. 

Since the childhood the owner of stud-farm is passionate by the horses. Born in a family of farmers he has been always in a touch with this magnificent animal and started very early to have an interest not only for riding horses but also for breeding them. Twenty years old he already earned first three Lusitanian’s mares: “Franquesa” with the brand Trancas, “Imperial” with the brand Sommer and “Egoista” with the brand Malta. These mares were in the stud-farm Quina, which doesn’t exist anymore, but was sufficient famous by its bullfighting horses. The animals which were born from these mares already were marked with brand : “Galeto” (Coral x Imperial) which was stallion of Dr. António Capoulas stud-farm and “Gitana” (Coral x Egoísta) which was in the stud-farm of engineer Alexandre Calheiros Ferreira. After creating excellent animals with the mare “Gitana” in the stud-farm of Calheiros Ferreira, it was sold to Belgium to Anne Catherine Frayse. The mare continues to produce excellent animals and some of them are champions of the race in Belgium.
In 1990 engineer João Lynce together with engineer Calheiros Ferreira initiated a project by creating new stud-farm on the basis of Quina`s stud-farm’s produced animals and by joining more horses (“Ribatejo”, “Novilheiro” and “Coral”). In the same time the stud-farm JPL was expanded by other reproducing animals mainly with mares: a daughter of “Zaquiro”, a daughter of “Opus”, a daughter of “Novilheiro”, a daughter of “Trinco” and a daughter of “Nilo”. In 2004 were joined more mares with the brand Calheiros Ferreira produced from horses “Maravilha”, “Zique”, “Urque” and of course from “Ribatejo” and “Coral”.

Today farm has 19 reproductive mares and a principal stallion “Perito” with Calheiros Ferreira`s brand. In 1999 “Perito” was the Champion of Champions in the National Horse Fair in Golegã and in 2004 it was the National Champion of Stallions in National Agricultural Fair in Santarém.
This farm already commercialized horses for several professionals of bullfighting like Manuel Jorge de Oliveira, Antonio Ribeiro Teles, João Salgueiro, Rui Fernandes and other.
In the last years the direction of farm work has been attached to modality of working equitation.
The future target of this farm is to produce the high quality Pure Blood Lusitanian horses. To mix the beautiful and functionality, and to transmit the passion with new horizons and new disciplines which are adequate for this genuinely Portuguese race.
