Escola Portuguesa de Arte Equestre / Portuguese School of Equestrian Art
By Filipe Graciosa
Filipe Graciosa has produced this book in the year in which the Escola Portuguesa de Arte Equestre celebrates its twenty-fifth anniversary. This invaluable bilingual version (Portuguese / English) gives the entire history of the Portuguese riding school in nine beautifully illustrated chapters: History; The Portuguese School of Equestrian Art; Baroque Elegance; Belem Royal Riding School; Horses and Personnel; Portuguese Theories and Tradition; Riding Academies; Personalities and Displays; News and Clippings. The Escola Portuguesa de Arte Equestre has grown out of the former equestrian academy, the Picaria Real which, despite being closed for centuries, has kept its knowledge and traditions alive.
