Salvete Omnes,
long time ago I wrote posts about Dom Duarte (Edward) and his book of horsemanship written circa 1430AD.
Three hundred years later another Portuguese horseman, D. Pedro José de Alcântara de Menezes Noronha Coutinho (1713-1799), 6th Count of Cantanhede and 4th Marquis of Marialva, wrote a book on horsemanship -Luz da Liberal e Nobre Arte da Cavallaria, representing the Portuguese School of Equestrian Art in Sintra, Portugal.
here I 'roped' or 'corralled' some plates illustrating the grand work.
.

The Portuguese school still exists to this day, and their ecuyers are using Alter Real and Lusitano Portuguese horses,
Valete
