The Belgian World Champion four-in-hand driving Felix-Marie Brasseur had his top lusitano horses withdrawn after the WEG in Aachen, by António Simões, the proprietor.
The lusitanos, Odoroso, Orpheu, Quijote and Tulipa have been handed over to the portuguese singles driver, José Luso (Brasseur's groom).
However, although Brasseur trained these horses from scratch, he will start again and is at present negotiating with a new sponsor who will place horses at his disposal .
