Horses are distributed in 22 (81.5%) of the 27 federal units of Brazil, highlighted São Paulo which concentrates 80% of the animals, demonstrating the importance of this state to the Association. There is less use of reproductive males in the PSL formation in Brazil, while 10% of males national obtain registration as a breeds and are used in forming progeny, national mares account for 37%. Contrasting values with imported, where the use of reproductive mares have values 96% and males 72%, which justifies the purchase for reproductive use. The average number of foals was 12.3 and 4.0 offspring per stallion and mare, respectively. Animals born in Brazil by 2009 represents 27.3% (14,509) of the world entire of official records, indicating that world growth and prominence of breed in recent years, in part, is due to Brazil, which allowed the PSL. The coefficient of inbreeding is 4.0% the resulting average in 91% of animals, suggesting that the mating related animals is common practice in PSL horses. However, the value is not high, indicating that breeders consider the importance of inbreeding when mating. In conclusion, animals born in Brazil demonstrate the importance for the breed on the world context, that there are territorial coverage in the country, and that the breeders control the inbreeding coefficient.
