Sabre Interagro, a gorgeous gray Lusitano bred by Interagro Lusitanos, is the star of a Brazilian commercial and international campaign for the Princess BarbieTM Doll from Mattel. In the 60 second commercial, Sabre Interagro proves that fairy tales do come true as he recreates the famous scene in which a handsome prince rescues a princess while mounted on a splendid white horse. Sabre Interagro shows off his star power in the Brazilian commercial when he gallops onto the scene carrying the prince who spots three beautiful princesses. Following a scene in which Sabre Interagro rears – complete with fog and the sound of a whinny -- the prince swoops one of the lovely ladies onto the back of Sabre Interagro and they ride off together as the commercial transitions into two young girls playing with their Barbie Dolls. Sabre’s owner, Marantes, of Haras Itapuã South, reported that the producers looked at a variety of breeds before choosing a Lusitano for the commercial. Marantes was thrilled to have his horse appear in the commercial. Sabre Interagro is ridden in a Portuguese saddle and breastplate that Marantes purchased at the International Festival of the Lusitano Horse in Lisbon
