"One of the most famous Iberian studs in the world is that of Manuel Veiga at Golegã. His line of Lusitano horses is reputedly closer to the old combat horse of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries than any other type which exists. These horses have been developed exclusively for the bullfight and whilst in the stable they appear quite ordinary by Iberian standards: under saddle they transform. Swelling with presence, they become quite magnificent as they move forward, each bearing his cavaleiro like a precious treasure".
