During the search for and subsequent importation of Ali Baba form Portugal Jody was instantly captivated by the Lusitano breed. The horses she saw in Portugal were something so special - their work ethic, their power and their intelligence were not something she had seen reproduced time and time again in any breed she had come across in her lifetime with horses around the world.
