The gentleman leading you through the stud is great. So knowledgable and charismatic. ❤ These stallions are so calm and gentle, they are well cared for. Just stunning.

What have we done to deserve all of these uploads? I think this is day 3 of a full upload each day , with we get a day four ?

STUN-NING!!! 🇵🇹 😍

I couldn’t catch his name on the video, but the gentleman who showed you the riding school is absolutely wonderful. What a kind soul and a wealth of knowledge. I would LOVE to spend time talking with him.

I have two Lusitanos, Dia (2008) and Tsunami (2023). The naming system is so cool to me! They are honestly just the BEST horses!

Meg should come to Finland some time to ride Finnhorses. I would really love to see that

You're such a natural presenter Meg, and OH MY GOD I absolutely must visit Portugal some day, what a gorgeous place ❤

I love this travel series. That whole trip looked so fun and stunning!! You should come to the united state's next!!

I have a suggestion for a place to visit, you should go visit the Royal Canadian Mounted Police musical ride! They tour the country, doing drill team performances. They are all police officers in the RCMP and they dress in the red Mounties uniform. Depending on where in the country you go, they have a breeding facility, and a training facility!

Love the Mounties.

What a great adventure. Your banter back and forth with the instructor guys is priceless. I think they have all fallen for you....😅❤. Amazing horses and horsemanship.

Thank you Meg, for taking us on this lovely trip. I had wanted to see you ride on a horse like a Lusitano and can't wait until your next rip. South America maybe?

Nice bit of culture Meg! Roman ruins, fine wines, beautiful locations, classical Equestrianism! How about the white horses of the Camargue for a visit.

Wow! I'm in love with Lusitanos. All stallions, and so well behaved and calm. Just beautiful. Looks like Portugal is a wonderful place for horsey people to come and visit.

Tank you for visiting my country

Wow! It never fails to amaze me how different, yet incredible other countries traditions are! 😍

You should come to South Africa you would love our riding safari’s

Did you see that Piaffe!! My Lord above!! Just as good as the Lippizzaners!!! No effort at all!! No Rolkur as well, perfect V in the legs, hind legs so under the body, you can see all that power being used correctly!!! Loved watching your trip, Meg!! Thank you for sharing it. I've seen the Lippizzaner Stallions up close and personal like you just did with the Lusitanos. All the training that the riders go through, as well as the horses. It's just amazing!! I hope a lot of people can get to go see them when they get to England. Trust me, it's well worth the money you will spend to see them!! Best Regards, from your friend, the Retired Paramedic and Horse Trainer in Ontario, Canada, Jenn 💖 🇨🇦🇬🇧

Love seeing it all like the traditional saddles and things makes me almost want to visit for myself. I love seeing the different breeds aswell like the roman noses.

Talk about a pinch me moment wow just incredible ❤

An amazing series.

So nice to see you visit Portugal! 🇵🇹

OMG I love the name! Big Lord of the Ring fan myself and always loved that name and that horse.

First, Meg your amazing and such and inspiration I hope you had loads of fun xxx

I head to Portugal in a week, maybe I’ll convince my family to visit one of these places

Beautiful vlog Meg gorgeous country seen them live many years ago if they ever come here we go an see them perform.tf😎🏇😎

Meg I love you traveling it suits you so well. Stay humble girly because it’s suits you so well. Your such an angel. I’m sure everyone loves working with you.

So enjoyed this! I hope you had fun riding through the vineyards? My experience was riding at the age of 8 through coffee bean plantations outside Nairobi, Kenya. Rode solo on a 16 hands high horse called Squire. Fell so much in love with that horse and cried heading back to the UK. Wanted to take him home! Had an amazing tutor/tour guide, who was trained on riding horses in Germany. He was absolutely amazing and told my Grandma that when we got home to UK to ride solo. The rest is history!

A wild Portuguese princess Megan 💖. THANK YOU.

it all looked amazing.

What an amazing experience your having Meg 😊

Art in motion 🤩

I didn’t think being this early was possible but here I am Great video! 🐴

Amazing!!

I downloaded Cavago and will for sure book something. Meg you are such a star. I hope you get to do your own horse travel show some day!

Wow there gorgeous horses 😍

Meg ,you definitely should come to South Africa, besides the good weather the sights and culture, oh and the big Five, seeing it on horse back is so awesome

I would love for hobbit to experience some of these things too 🎉

Great video Meg

Hi Meg love your vids!!

The fact that you're a Swiftie made me love you 10 times more lmaooooooo omg

Love this type of video ❤😊

It's too bad Pete couldn't come! What an amazing trip!

Damn I’m surprisingly early. Just wanted to say I enjoy your vids a lot!!

The horse at 25:00 has the most interesting skin pigmentation on his muzzle and eye! Almost reminds me of LP but that isnt in the breed so howwww lol

Love your vid Meg First

You neeeedddd to come do Canada. Please!

love all of your vids but can we please have an update on the foals?

feels illegal to be this early lol

This is amazing Meg! I watched your first vid while making treats for our horse cookies business and I will watch this one while making more treats!

Is "two years after Christ" after the Incarnation or Resurrection? 2 AD or 35 AD? Either way, awesome experience, thanks for taking us along!

SO many people say first. That just tells her you just want to say first. It's not a competition anyways.

I think I would have the carriage horse :D couldent do the wine thing as my meds dont mix with alcohol XD maybe in the next one you could go to one of the horse rescues in the area to hi-light their rescue work, would like to see that

You need to come to Australia dxx

This is what dressage used to be and what it should be again - somewhere along the road we seem to have lost that in high level dressage competitions. This looks so harmonious and effortless compared to some of the things you see "top" riders doing at big shows.

My birthday is on the day they go to the UK and I can’t go

Wow!! Do u like Taylor Swift songs? What an amazing trip?

Why do horses chew on the bit?😊

Bored or teething normally or they are a youngster and it’s new to them so they don’t know what to do with a chunk of metal in their mouth so they chew it

They also chew when they are relaxed and sometimes when they are agitated so it really just depends 😅 But most of the time it’s out of boredom

@whizzywoo582 How expensive are those? Genuinely don't know, but I'm going to assume that they're pricey. Or maybe they've tried a prosthetic tail & it didn't work out? My point was that we shouldn't jump to conclusions. We don't know anything about these people, this horse or their circumstances. So we should probably reserve judgement.

@@stephaniebattison2334 Expensive??? You are kidding me right, of course the horse's comfort wouldn't be worth spending money on. This horse appeared without its tail with no mention of why and it's not okay - horses are still being mutilated in this fashion for aesthetic reasons and it's barbaric.

@stephaniebattison2334

@whizzywoo582 For all we know, these people rescued this horse. Are they still bad people? These horses are obviously well cared for. Are they just supposed to pass up buying a horse that has a perfect temperament for their business (where complete novices might be sat on this horse) because its got a docked tail? How about you lobby the Portuguese government onto banning the practice if you're so against it? But you won't. You won't do anything except type on your phone to complain about people whose only "crime" is buying/owning a horse with a docked tail. & again, WE DO NOT KNOW why the horse's tail was docked in the first place or who did it. Even in the UK, tail docking is legal for medical purposes. I didn't mean it wouldn't be worth it, but if those things are really expensive, then not everyone would be able to afford buying one. You know, after their bills & routine horse care expenses, there isn't enough money left to buy one, so it takes them a year or two to save up for one. Or maybe they've tried it & the horse got stressed out by having this random thing attached to it's tail. Stop making judgements about people when you know NOTHING about their circumstances. Could Meg have addressed it to give us more info? Maybe. But based on the information WE HAVE, these people have done nothing wrong. Not saying I wouldn't change my judgement if I got more information, but I don't make up my own stories to fit the narrative I want.

I'm so happy you're exploring so much of our equestrian history and our amazing Lusitanos 🥹💞 You're amazing Meg
