On January 22, 2013, Ijaque was born in Alter. As with almost all the horses of the Portuguese School of Equestrian Art, as soon as he turned four years old, his excellent characteristics ensured his recruitment to the School. He is the son of Jacaré II and Unitiva II, being one of the horses that has more brothers attending the School: Ajacto, Cajabel, Hojival, Lajeado, Ninja and Ojier, on the father's side, and Barão, Favorito and Jeremias, on the mother's side. Ijaque is a horse with a lot of energy, perfect to shine in the demanding Court Games.
