Vouga Team
Rocas do Vouga´s manager
Raul Silva is the manager of the Rocas do Vouga stud farm, which specializes
in breeding Lusitano horses. Silva coordinates the do Vouga breeding program,
which is dedicated to maintaining and crossing the traditional pure Lusitano
lines with various sport Lusitano lines. As a result, Rocas do Vouga produces
purebred Lusitanos with exceptional talent for sport horse endeavors that also
maintain the very positive breed characteristics of the Lusitano including a
willingness to please, superior trainability, and above average intelligence.
Silva, who graduated with a veterinary degree in 1992, is also a licensed judge
and attends conformation classes and stallion tests. Silva is uniquely qualified
for his roles at do Vouga as he also served for eight years as the Studbook
Director for the Brazilian Warmblood Registry and another eight years as
Studbook Director for the Purebred Lusitano in Brazil. In addition to managing
the do Vouga farm, Silva also organizes several dressage clinics a year with
international clinicians such as Mariette Whitages, Volker Moritz, Wojtek
Markowski, Jan Brink, Inke Schellekens-Bartels, Dolf Keller, Daniel Pinto, and
Juan Munoz, among others.
