    #122 DIOGO LIMA MAYER

    09-02-2026 | 1 u. 19 Min.
    For years now, Portugal and its Lusitanos have had my heart.

    It all started at 𝗠𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗲 𝗩𝗲𝗹𝗵𝗼 𝗘𝗾𝘂𝗼 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗼𝗿𝘁, where I rode a Lusitano for the very first time — a moment that quietly changed everything.

    Three years ago (2023), I had a deeply emotional interview with 𝗗𝗶𝗼𝗴𝗼 𝗟𝗶𝗺𝗮 𝗠𝗮𝘆𝗲𝗿 and 𝗝𝗼ã𝗼 𝗧𝗼𝗿𝗿ã𝗼.

    In February 2026, I sat down with Diogo again.

    We spoke about what has changed over the past three years — but even more about what lies ahead.

    Diogo is a breeder who dares to think differently. He questions traditions, challenges the status quo, and shares his own — sometimes controversial — vision on the future of the Lusitano breed.

    In this podcast, you’ll hear his honest perspective, bold ideas, and some spicy thoughts about where the Lusitano world is heading.

    Enjoy this conversation with Diogo Lima Mayer of Monte Velho.

    My guest today is a true master of classical dressage — the legendary Portuguese horseman Luis Valença. I had to honor to visit his stables for this interview in September 2025.

Together with his daughter Filipa, Luis continues a proud family tradition, blending passion, artistry, and harmony between rider and horse.
