Visiting the Henrique Calado Riding Ring provides an opportunity to travel through national history and learn about the beauty of Lusitano horses bred on the Coudelaria de Alter stud farm, serving this art form ever since the 18^th century. The venue that now welcomes the Portuguese School of Equestrian Art Galas underwent a complete refurbishment by Parques de Sintra which endowed it with new facilities, especially in terms of technical capacities. With a 285-seat capacity, this enables the observation of the performances and the training sessions, as well as containing a cafeteria and store.
