PORTUGUESE SCHOOL OF EQUESTRIAN ARTS
The Portuguese School of Equestrian Arts represents the sequence to what was formerly the Royal Riding School, the equestrian academy of the Portuguese court that was closed down in the 19th century and housed in the Royal Stables of Belém, currently the National Coach Museum.
The horses ridden in the School are bred by the Alter stud farm. The Portuguese School of Equestrian Art performs regularly, both elsewhere in Portugal and internationally, always promoting both the Lusitano horse and Portuguese culture.
