The majesty of the Lusitanos | RIDE presented by Longines

“The Lusitano is a sensitive breed, but they always want to please the rider. They have a special feeling for the cattle, and the cows have a lot of respect for them.” 🤝🐴
In the latest episode of RIDE, presented by Longines, we visit the enchanting Alentejo region and marvel at the majesty of the Lusitanos as they continue to work the land in Portugal. 🇵🇹
Join us as we delve into a timeless partnership between a local cattle farmer and one of the world's oldest equine breeds. 👨‍🌾

I wish we saw more of these beautiful, unique horse breeds in FEI competition!!

[@anaviana2641]

Thanks for this lovely video. My grandmother was born in Alenteijo (I was born in Lisbon) and I love horses alot. I hope to go visit Portugal, Alenteijo and see these magnificent Lusitano horses. 🙏😇😘🐎

Wonderful short video with so much information and beauty.❤

When God created the horse, He said to the magnificent creature, “I have created you as no other.”

[@AshwatKumar-st6yq]

Then he made dogs, the horses can cry in a corner

The cattle herd looked amazing. Good job.

A dream that came true. I adore it

[@bikecameraaction3334]

Amazing life! Beautiful horses. I went to the National Horse Fair, in Lisbon, and it's just fantastic. I recommend everyone who loves horses visits at least once (you'll definitely want to go again)

[@HMuny55]

Iberian horses crossed with the American Quarter horse make an amazing working breed. Called an Azteca. Have the beautiful confirmation and gait of the Iberian and the extra gear of the quarter horse

[@wayneparker9331]

Agree 100%. Also, I could tell you originally typed “conformation” but autocorrect changed it to “confirmation” which made me laugh at the mental image of some kind of ceremony where horses are “confirmed.”

Bom Dia ❤

Good friend horse

[@XxBlueEyedxX]

That's working equitation and therefore dressage of its finest. You can see plenty of the higher dressage lessons while they work with the cows. None of them are "just for show" and they know exactly what they are doing and why they are doing it. Dressage riders tend to forget it because they can't quite visualise the practical use of all the pretty looking lessons they are riding (and teachers fail to teach it because they also don't have the practical knowledge)pretty-looking

This is nothing but a promo video....FEI is great to show the "bright side of life" and ignore/ hide everything around.

[@marinusmourik9494]

It seems,for me,that you're not happy with "the bright side" of life. Do you rather see the miserable side ? That's what you can see day in day out from the "news" media.

How much for lusanito horses. Can they live in heat of 48 c in pakistan

[@antoniosousa3115]

The lusitanos can live in hotter climates, since here in Portugal it gets to 40°c in the summer sometimes but they do live better in a more temperate climate

[@allihhussainmazari168r]

@@antoniosousa3115 how much do they cost

This looks like rdr 2😂

If you are reporting on the lusitano why show the Spanish vaquero? The tradition is completely different with distinctive saddles and uniforms! You could have reported on the Portuguese working equitation, campinos or the Portuguese school of the equestrian art. What a shame such a nice idea is wasted on showing the Spanish style which should be for Andalusian horses!

[@MISSGATCHINHA]

huh????

[@joycelima3051]

eheh spanish?!!!

[@gilbertodias8117]

I agree lusitanos and is tradition is diferent from Spanish and I be happy for that, we are portuguese and our tradicions incluse our horse hare much diferent from Spain, see your comment, let us alone, viva portugal and our culture.

[@Carroty_Peg]

shame they treat them appallingly. . . yes, I worked with them in Spain and the stallions are kept in tiny areas of dust (no grass) and stand there alone. Welfare standards are terrible ... all machismo. Matt Harnacke saw it when he went out there to buy his horses.

[@MISSGATCHINHA]

go figure wtf you talking about

[@Klugschieterin]

You absolutely can't compare Spain with Portugal It's apparently a totally different climate and nature 😉 a different breed of cattle a completely different way to handle horses, a completely different culture and most important a completely different character of the people 55 ys ago my grandpa gave me my first horseback riding lessons in Portugal on an experienced working Lusitan when we were on vacation On the way back from Portugal to Germany the lessons were continued in Andalusia (Spain) on a Tres Sanges and an Andaluz and i experienced a total different character of horses, saddle and handling of the horses May be nowadays all the mediterranean way of working horseback art looks similar, but has completely different roots based on the character, mentality and culture of the people The traditional way of keeping horses looks for so many people cruel today, but never forget, that's what imprints the typical characteristics and health of a breed in a certain environment. To ignore that is the cruelty of today's activists for animal rights

[@ktm8848]

you claim lusitano is the oldest horse breed in the world while it's the descendant of the barbe horse from north africa

[@Klugschieterin]

And Muslims like the claim it's the Arabien Horse.. All that's irrelevant, it only counts what's the result 😘

[@joycelima3051]

saddle horse, not work horse

[@MIGUEL-pz6uz]

That's sad,portugueses using spanish saddles,at least use portuguese saddle for the video...
