FALL IN LOVE WITH THE

LUSITANO HORSES

AT GOLEGÃ

Few places on earth capture the spirit of the Lusitano horse quite like Golegã, a tiny historic town in rural Portugal. Each year, thousands of horse-lovers across the world transform Portugal's heartland into a thriving hub of culture, tradition, and of course - horses!

Golegã horse fair dates back to 1773, when the Prime Minister of Portugal at the time - Marquês de Pombal - encouraged Lusitano breeders to show their horses at the local agricultural fair. These gorgeous horses stole the show, and Golegã became the "Capital do Cavalo" or "Capital of the Horse." It's now a celebrated event in the equine world, and remains a soulful demonstration of the beauty of Lusitano horsemanship.
