\"\" \"\" \"\" \"\" \"\" \"\" \"\" \"\" \"\" \"\" \"\" \"\" \"\"Sometimes everything falls into place during a holiday. For me, that was the case during our trip to Portugal, organised by Global Horses. What a wealth: travelling with horse friends, being fully immersed in the world of the Lusitano and all that in an environment brimming with culture, tradition and hospitality!<\/p>\n

From the very first moment, we felt how deeply rooted the Portuguese people's love for 'their' Lusitano is. In every stud we visited, we tasted the pride and passion with which this special breed is bred and trained. We met beautiful horses - full of character, powerful, sensitive - and were always warmly welcomed. Thanks to Floor, the owner of Horse Holidays.co.uk, we really felt welcome everywhere.<\/p>\n

Floor was the driving force during this trip, Her enthusiasm, knowledge, love and dedication to Portugal and the Lusitano are contagious. Everything was taken care of down to the last detail: from the accommodations to the visits to breeders and the special moments at Quinta do Falcao. She knows both the region and the people, which gave our trip an extra personal dimension. Her warm contacts with breeders and local riders gave us an insight into real Lusitano life - something you don't just experience as a tourist.<\/p>\n

We stayed in the Ribatejo region, where Tomar and Goleg\u00e3, were the historical gems during our stay. This region breathes horses: the traditional costumes, driving, dressage, Working Equitation- everything here revolves around the Lusitano horse as a cultural symbol. As a horse lover, I felt completely at home here. The surroundings were beautiful, the food delicious and every day brought new impressions and encounters.<\/p>\n

One of the highlights was riding under the guidance of Pedro Teixeira Farto, an exceptionally skilled and passionate instructor in both dressage and working equitation. He flawlessly senses what the horse and rider need. He adjusts his guidance professionally to that - both in class and during the outrides.<\/p>\n

What made this trip really special for me was the combination of beautiful horses, good friends, depth of culture and excellent organisation. It was more than a holiday: it felt like coming home because of my passion with the horses. I can recommend everyone to go on a trip with horseholidays.co.uk - especially if you want to experience the Lusitano in its origins.<\/p>\n
