00:30Welcome to Mediane TV, you have understood, dear viewers, it is equestrian heritage that
00:51is in question in this chronicle.
00:52The Portuguese technique that you have just seen of equestrian training, better known
00:57under the name of the school of Portuguese equestrian art, has been promoted as a heritage
01:01of humanity since early December, a tribute to a Portuguese collective identity
01:08and whose history, for centuries, has been intimately linked to that of the horse.
01:12Riders mounted on sails in chamois or tapir skins, dressed in gala costumes
01:19with velvet coats, Bordeaux, leather jambières and black tricorns,
01:24on classical music backgrounds of choreographed exercises as they took place at the royal court.
01:30This unique know-how led the UNESCO committees, met in December in Paraguay,
01:35to register the Portuguese equestrian art on the list of the immaterial cultural heritage of humanity,
01:43adding to other traditions of the Iberian country, such as fado, a popular traditional song,
01:48borrowed from melancholy and recognized in 2011.
01:52We listen to João Pedro Rodrigues, he is a master equestrian, head of the Lisbon Equestrian School.
01:59Portugal, our equestrianism, comes from a symbiosis of various equestrianism
02:06that has developed over the centuries.
02:08Already in the 18th century, the Lusitano horse, the Spanish or Portuguese peninsular horse,
02:14was used in the great stables, such as in France, for example.
02:18In Versailles or in the great stables, most of the horses were from the Jeunes d'Espagne,
02:23a horse of a peninsular breed, because it was a horse capable of adapting to this type of equestrianism.
02:30Our Lusitanian horse is a unique horse, the Lusitano,
02:35it is a Portuguese product of excellence, just like oil or liege.
02:39The Jeunes d'Espagne was the horse of Spain, it was the peninsular horse,
02:43because it was the horse that adapted to this type of equestrianism.
02:46Our Lusitanian horse is a unique horse, the Lusitanian horse is a Portuguese product of excellence,
02:51just like oil or liege.
02:55The Portuguese equestrian dressing technique is a source of collective identity
03:01and is characterized by the position of the rider on the saddle,
03:05as well as by the traditional outfit and the harnesses used.
03:08Today, this art continues to be practiced in Portugal and abroad,
03:13thanks to the work of many breeders, artisans and riders,
03:17within academies, epic centres and establishments,
03:20such as the Portuguese School of Equestrian Art, created in 1979,
03:25which currently has about sixty horses and a dozen riders.
03:29The art of Portuguese equestrianism, which is also distinguished by the harmony
03:33between the rider and the animal, is intimately linked to the Lusitanian horse,
03:39a very ancient breed, native to Portugal,
03:42and which enjoys great prestige for its power, its high profile and agility,
03:48but also its docility and obedience.
03:51We listen to Luís Calin, administrator of the Lisbon Equestrian School.
03:57There are only four equestrian art schools in the world.
04:01There are only four equestrian art schools in the world,
04:04the Royal Spanish School, the School of Saumur in France,
04:08the Spanish School of Vienna and the Portuguese School of Equestrian Art.
04:12This relationship between man and horse really has to do
04:16with the history of our Lusitanian horse.
04:19Here, at the School of Equestrian Art,
04:22we only use Lusitanian horses, from the Dalter Real stable.
04:31And music to finish, and we stay in Portugal to talk about another art,
04:35declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2011, and this is Fado.
04:40For this, I propose an excerpt from the last album of the Portuguese singer, Lina.
04:45Her album is called Fado Camaux, and I propose the video clip, O Que Temo.
