The event will take place on April 24th in Alter do Chão
The Coudelaria de Alter, a historic and iconic institution in the breeding of the Lusitano Purebred Horse – the most emblematic horse breed in Portugal – will hold its traditional annual auction on April 24th at 3:00 PM, at its facilities in Alter do Chão.
The Vila Galé Collection Alter Real – Equestrian Resort, Conference & Spa, located within the Coudelaria de Alter, offers ideal comfort for auction participants wishing to make the most of their stay.
In this edition, one of the most internationally prestigious stud farms – and the oldest continuously operating in the same location in the world – is presenting 26 animals at auction: thirteen males and thirteen females. With a unique genetic heritage, the Alter Real lineage horses stand out for their nobility, functionality, and exceptional aptitude for various equestrian disciplines, particularly dressage and traditional Portuguese riding, which was recently recognised by UNESCO as Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.
In this centenary auction, mares will have starting prices ranging between €4,500 and €7,500. For males, prices are slightly higher, ranging from €7,000 to €15,000.
