Beldade do Solar is a commanding presence in any arena, possessing a rare combination of significant height and an unflappable, serene disposition. She is the quintessential "Sport-Lusitano," offering a massive, over-tracking walk and a scopey gallop that provide a rock-solid foundation for Grand Prix development. Unlike the more compact iterations of the breed, Beldade covers an immense amount of ground with every stride, yet she remains remarkably light in the hand and quick to respond to the aids. Her personality is one of focused ambition; she is a "pro-type" mare who thrives under pressure, suggesting she will be a reliable and high-impact competitor in the high-stakes environment of international dressage. 

The program at Solar do Vento has hit its stride with Beldade, successfully engineering a mare that breaks the traditional mold to meet the demands of the modern sport. By utilizing Altamir do Solar—a sire noted for passing on his significant frame—and crossing him with Valsa do Solar, the breeders have locked in the desired scope without sacrificing the breed's natural cadence. The influence of Ibérico de Évora on the dam side is particularly evident in her expansive mechanics, while the heritage of Galo da Serra provides the structural "uphill" engine required for the collected work. Beldade stands as a triumph of the stable’s vision: she is a tall, long-lined athlete who retains the soul of a Lusitano while possessing the reach and power of a modern sport horse.
