The Lusitanos Riding Centre is an equestrian sports activities centre in the western region in Lisbon area.

The Lusitano thoroughbred known as the "Puro Sangue Lusitano", is our heart. Our awe, adoration and admiration draws us to this magnificent creature. Its beauty, strength, character and courage are unique. Due to its physical and psychological characteristics, it was used to improve various European horse breeds and is considered to be the oldest saddle horse in the world.

Easy to handle and to teach, it is the ideal horse for every rider. 

Brave and practical, it is able to do any exercise with facility. 

It is compact and extremely flexible, for any riding style.

This is the reason why our centre is specialised in training this breed from novice to competition level.
