PORTUGUESE SCHOOL OF EQUESTRIAN ARTE

Description

The Portuguese School of Equestrian Art follows the model in effect at the Picaria Real – the equestrian academy of the Portuguese court in the 18th and early 19th centuries – and replicates the mode of teaching the horses and their riders, the costumes, the saddles and the exercises.

Since September 2012, the Portuguese School of Equestrian Art has been managed by Parques de Sintra – Monte da Lua, S.A. With its headquarters in the gardens of the National Palace of of Queluz, it is on Calçada da Ajuda – in the Henrique Calado Riding Ring, in Belém – where the public may today attend the School’s regular presentations.
