Family equestrian events: Gentil – a symbol of Portuguese equestrian art
The Portuguese School of Equestrian Art has a brand-new show!
Everyone is invited to attend the gala performance “Gentil – A Symbol of Portuguese Equestrian Art”, specially designed for families with children.
The Lusitano horse named Gentil, depicted in the equestrian statue of King José I in Lisbon’s Praça do Comércio, is the inspiration for this new programme. Presented in an educational and engaging way, the show explores the key characteristics and historical development of equestrianism and equestrian art in Portugal, interspersed with live demonstrations that reflect a unique cultural heritage.
By booking tickets for the show, visitors will also have access to the Nora Patio, where, before the gala begins, they can discover the behind-the-scenes world of Equestrian Art. Here, the grooms tend to the horses and the riders carry out warm-up exercises with their mounts.
