This year Golega 2008 was very special for me . First time I attended the Fair with my own horse . Four years ago I had no horse after that ,on the following Year , my horse was an Luso-Arab ,Two years ago I had no Trailer .
Then came 2008 the year I moved My horse originating a series of events starting on meetingmet Rita , The Trailer and Golegã ... We were there for ten days . Ritas Father has a House there and Rita´s Friesan Horses had a new mate this year , My Lusitano . This Picture was taken during an event that took place on Saturday the 15th .
We rode from 10:30 Am until 18:00 with a two hour Break for lunch when i had a chance to put my Lusitano to rest .
Some People say that only Arabians can be put to such an Effort ... Well My Lusitano Managed . Although I must say he was dead tired that night .
