Golegã National Horse Fair

Golegã, Portugal
Golegã Horse Fair happens every November in the town of Golegã, known as the horse capital of Portugal. Overnight, the normally sleepy town is transformed into a buzzing hub of Portuguese horse enthusiasts converging to celebrate their much-loved native breed, the Lusitano. The fair has absolutely everything: showing, dressage, driving, equitation, showjumping, eventing, endurance riding, equestrian games, performances, endless equestrian stalls and markets, top breeders from Portugal and beyond, and some of the most beautiful horses you will ever see. We’re not just talking Lusitanos, either – all sorts of breeds can be seen prancing in arenas and peering out of stall doors throughout the streets of Golegã.
