From warfare to dressage
A horseman rests in the stables during the 25th Lusitano Horse Festival, held in the Portuguese town of Cascais.
The festival was dedicated to showcasing Lusitano horses, highly valued in the Classical world, and still one of Portugal’s most prestigious breeds. Long prized as hunting and combat animals, the agility and sweet temperament of Lusitanos make them popular for bullfighting, dressage and all sorts of other sports.
