- This week I visited the "Feira Nacional do Cavalo" in Golega, Portugal (Golega Horse Fair).
Carlos invited me to have a look around, learn about Portugal's proud history with horses, and the Iberian horse breed called the Lusitano.
I was also joined by Jonny & Sam and we interviewed one of Portugal's top horse breeders Francisco Bessa de Carvalho @lusitanosdatela who gave us an insight into what makes Portugal's National Horse breed so special.

My family going back to my great great grandfather were from Portugal and owned property in Golega and raised horses for the Horse Shows . When I was a child my mom and dad used
to take me to the shows and teach me how to ride. My grandfather was an equestrian who won many awards. I have a winner's cup from him to this day. Great memories from a time
long ago. Love when you make videos like this. Sending you Well Wishes from Richmond, VA. Jim, Harriet and Yuki🐕
Hi Jim thats really awesome! I love Golega and the Santarem area and have a lot more vlogs planned for future content over that side :)
Great vid as always. Francisco seems like a really friendly guy, he really took time to explain about his horses. You know he had great enthusiasm for what he was doing.
Yes we were very lucky to find him! Great guy who has raised lots of champion horses!
OMG I laughed hard with that abafado guys. Still wondering why the brown jacket guy was kinda speaking spanish to you hahaha. Abafado is a term for a fortified wine where the fermentation has been stopped by the addition of aguardente, leaving residual sugar. It's like a "Moscatel" wine. While Port is mainly red, and richer, the Abafado is made with white grapes and is a bit lighter.
Really learned a bit with Francisco.
Hey, thanks for the info! 🍷
They like to party in Portugal. Thanks for sharing this wonderful horse fair. ❤️🇨🇦
We had a fantastic day out thanks for inviting us Ken :D
Was great fun!!!
I didn't know you are a horse enthusiast Sam! Will we see a future Lusitano on your farm??
The Lusitano horse was known as a warhorse in the Roman empire and used by Romans in their wars, it became Roman elites favorite horse
Loved the video Ken. Portugal has so much to offer and a rich history. Such an amazing country to live. Feeling blessed. 😊
Fantastic video, what atmosphere, from roast chestnuts to those beautiful Lusitano horses, and the slightly crazy old boys! Just loved it. And such a relaxed event, none of the boring old health and safety rules that are stifling so many events in UK. A big obrigada, & 👍
Ken you always find the most interesting places and shows/celebrations to share with us❤
I would say : "My kingdom for a horse !".🐴
Os cavalos portugueses sao reconhecidos no mundo inteiro como de grande valor, nao sei se E VERDADE, uma coisa E : os que tratam deles sao BRILHANTES !💥💥💥💥💥🐴🐴🐴🐴🐴👍👍👍👍👍🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈
Just whatI love ❤️ horses! I’m thrilled to see this! Thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Beautiful horses and Tasty looking steaks! Yummy yummy! ❤❤
I need to try the Barosso steak next!
Ken giving into peer pressure reluctantly!! Chug! Chug! Chug!!
Beautiful horses, thanks for filming it and sharing so we can see!!
Hugs from 🇨🇦
The Portuguese love to party 😆
Great video this week. Totally loved seeing the horse fair and learning about the Lusitano horses.
Ken if you want to learn more of the Lusitano you must visit the Coudelaria Nacional in Alter do Chão
That was so cute!!
Thanks Livvie! ❤
Wow, beautiful horses.
Abafado! vai vai! E todo!I think they nailed it
The production process for "abafado" is the same as for Port wine,to carry the name Port,the grapes must come from the Douro valley!!great video Ken and nice to see Jonny and Sam too!!
You're the only one who takes to the horsie fair. Thank you 😊
Great video. Loved the horses and in particular, the CHEESE NUTS.
Haha yes, me too 😁👍
What an amazing video.. cheers🐨🐨
Ken, just some trivia . Lusitano horses were bread also in Kayalami in South Africa for shows approved by the Breeders association from Portugal
Very cool. The climate is very similar so I guess they will do well back in SA too :)
Kayalami was well known for Lipizaners and Lusitano breeders
@@Bigfish300 Now known for HiJack
Wow I never knew this about Kyalami. I'm sure I went there often for car racing!!!

Behind Leeukop, the top of the circuit, is a prison on one side and a castle. Just west of that is where you would have found them
Great video Ken, thanks for sharing 👍💯🤗
Accents on portuguese words are essential to know to what we refer to and they are also part of their identity. The way you pronounce "Golega" without the accent ~ (til is the name), sounds like you'r saying "collegue" in portuguese. Cheers!
Explaining the right way of spealing GOLEGÃ in english... would be like saying the words GOAL with the word GUN, but without the N.
I loved to go. Must remember this for next year. very much enjoyed this vid. lol drink up!
It's well worth it! Runs for around 10 days with different events spread over the days 😊
Golegã,a at the end pronounce like Covilhã!! cheers Ken!!
Really nice content, Ken!
Hey thanks, glad you are enjoying it :)
I’ve been a little delayed, but I’m going to come beginning of 2024! Cannot wait.❤
Lovely video Ken.
Brilliant video
Not keen on horses but that was flipping amazing
Thank you for sharing 😁
Glad you enjoyed it
fantastic video 👍
Love it❤
Was lots of fun filming this one 😁🐎❤️
Golegã its the capital of Lusitano horse and it celebrates the S. Martinho.
Very interesting 👌 👍
Great Video.
So what Carlos failed to say is that there is actually 2 fairs at the same time. the oldest, form the 16th century is the saint martins fair (feira de são martinho) but the Horses fair (Feira Nacional do cavalo) is on its 48th year, and only is international for 24 years.
That makes sense, i did see on the TV screens around the fair some other events happening and couldnt work out where they were!
they are not "weird", the are proper DRUNK and happy, let them enjoy it. Mind you, I felt really uncomfortable for you ahaha, you so not wanted to drink that, poor you, you were bullied into it but took it like a champ even with Carlos's judging eyes, it was a bit cringe ahaha :) Jonny was soooo dragged along there but then seemed to have a great time. Great atmosphere on the second day. You can really tell Francisco knows his shit, and his English is brilliant. Cheesenuts would be a good concept :) Gina didn't want to go? I think she would have like it! Have a great sunday and thanks so much for keeping the vlogs, I know you wanted to make them more sparse, but it feels the opposite and WE LOVE IT :)
Haha, i was trying to figure out what the drink was before downing it. Was a good laugh. We still dont have our fence installed to keep the dogs in so Gina had to stay behind sadly. It was a long trip down there and back and we were gone for thewhole day twice). Next year im sure she will love it :)
Man, it was so funny...I could totally see you were thinking "wtf am I drinking here? Man I hope I don't die, omg Carlos is looking at me and I don't know the guy well" I still don't know what an abafado is made of :) And there was one guy pressing the cup against your face I just thought "Poor Ken" all this while you were filming, I was laughing so hard. Hey, at least you had a pharmacy next door, that's a good spot for a drunken hole@@OKportugal
@saragracadasilva8740 Haha totally 🤣 Abafado is apparently a fortified wine. They add alcohol to increase the strength of the drink. Store bought it should only be around 18% alcohol, but home made can be much stronger. I was a bit wobbly after that 🤣
@@OKportugal ihihihih, who told you to down ginginha AND abafados!!! I'm surprised you were not riding a random horse afterwards and yelling "FREEEEDOM"!!
Very nice frend siby mumbai india
Ken what a fantastic insight, thank you X:)
Ken
Those Spaniard's are more drunken than portugueses !
They were having a lot of fun! 😂
👍💯❤️
Unfortunately I didn't make it to go (3 hour drive so not too bad). Golga, emphasizing the last syllable because of the ~ (tilde). 😁 (my farrier had me confused as i didn't understand what he said - as with most things as my Portuguese is very poor still and his English is non existent as with most adult in Northern Portugal - but he spelled it. I too said Golega, emphasizing the e.) We too have a Lusitano and he's one naughty creature. Our warmblood is much more obedient, has respect for electric fencing etc. Not our Europeu, he'll dive right through. I think Lusitanos are very beautiful but I wish they (Iberian people) would be more friendly when schooling and handling horses - and to all animals really - because it most of the time isn't very friendly. I don't know the situation with Lusitanos but I've heard many times that with their Spanish equivalent (PRE), the ones that go to northern Europe are the ones that can't coop with the way they are handled back here on the peninsula. I know that our Europeu also mustn't have had a very nice 'upbringing' because if you ask him something and he doesn't understand, he'll freak out and starts giving all kinds of answers showing all kinds of movements, like he has a runtime error. Very sad that so many of these horses are psychologically damaged and traumatized.
But other than not agreeing with how animals are often treated here, I love this country so much.
Gipsies in particular treat horses and dogs very badly
Hi Ken
Hi Maureen 👋
Horse Fair...phew. I heard wrong😀🤣
Perhaps my voice was a little "hoarse" after all the drinks 🤣
😂
Does anyone know why Portugal doesn't have a race horses'industry with bets and all that, like in many European countries? I suppose everyone would win, State and privates.
Because we love to see the horse dancing in front of the bull. At least for me That is the beauty of bullfight. And the forcados, the man with is bare hands against the bull. I dont like the abuse with stereo of the bull
You’re in where ? Go Lego ?
Haha, yes my Portuguese friends pronounce English words funny too 😉 one pronounces the word "oven" like "ooo-ven"
Not the best timing, Ken
