About:
Prior to the 1970s, Brazil used to import European sport warmbloods of various breeds, so that Brazilian riders will have the best horses to compete with. However, in 1970, a Brazilian horse breeder called Enio Monte decided to create a sport horse of Brazilian origin.
To achieve this, Enio crossed Criollo mares with sport warmblood stallions of various breeds, as well as with Thoroughbred and Andalusian stallions. In 1977, Monte, together with other breeders, established the Brazilian Association of Sport Horse Breeders, and thus the Brazilian Sport Horse breed was officially recognized.
Today, Brazilian Sport Horses are primarily bred to perform well in the highest levels of dressage, eventing, and show-jumping, but they also serve as police horses in Brazil.
