In  July 2023 i went to Portugal again and had the opportunity to talk to some of this biggest professional riders and breeders. I was welcome at the most amazing places and had a look at their beautiful horses. It is amazing to hear and see how incredible proud the Portugese speak about their horses. I came back with a lot of new information about Portuguese horsepeople and their experiences and motivations.
