What a trip! Together with Anita, Barbara and D\u00e9sir\u00e9e - friends from our famous pony club - I went on horseholiday in Portugal. Barbara had convinced me to come along anyway, and how happy I am about that. Hooked up last, I immediately felt part of the adventure. Everything was right: the atmosphere, the people, the horses... just top-notch organised by Floor, our tour guide and driving force behind it all. We stayed at the beautiful Quinta do Falco, home of Rui Salvador. Just staying there was special.<\/p>\n

We got private lessons from Pedro Teixeira Farto (what a fine and knowledgeable instructor!), rode outside through the Portuguese countryside with a sumptuous lunch along the way, and visited the historic city of Tomar. And as if that wasn't enough, we got an exclusive look at stud farms you normally only know by name: Jo\u00e3o Pedro Rodrigues, Master Picador of the Escola Portuguesa de Arte, and the impressive Manuel Veiga breeding farm - with guided tour of the estate and all.<\/p>\n

Everyone we met was SO welcoming, friendly and visibly proud of their horses and tradition. And then that outside ride with wine tasting and dinner, and a visit to Expo\u00e9gua in Goleg\u00e3... it felt like we were part of something special.<\/p>\n

If I have to think of one horse that will stay with me, it is surely the encounter with stallion Gaoi<\/strong>. What an impressive and beautiful horse - he touched me<\/p>\n

A dream trip full of highlights, wonderful people and of course... unforgettable Lusitanos. How lucky I was to be there.<\/p>\n
