Spectators at next week's Rolex FEI World Cup Dressage Final in Las Vegas will have the opportunity to watch another true ambassador show his paces as Galopin de la Font, the 13-year old approved Lusitano stallion who was consistently placed on the Sunshine Tour at Vejer de la Frontera in Spain and runner-up in the Grand Prix Kür at Lisbon last season, has earned a wild-card for Portugal's Daniel Pinto.
And there is another special treat in store as João Oliveira, son of the legendary Portuguese classical master Nuno Oliveira, will be showcasing his four Lusitano stallions in a display designed to highlight the attributes of willingness, suppleness and great presence that makes this horse The Pride of Portugal.
