Quarantine Boredom? Enjoy 50 Equestrian Books to Read and Re-read
Itapira, São Paulo, Brazil (May 11, 2020) – Indulge in the ultimate quarantine entertainment: 50 books that should be on the reading list of every horse lover! With stunning images captured by famous photographers like Bob Langrish and available in a multitude of languages, a selection of the books on this list also include images or editorials on the horses, farm, and culture of Interagro Lusitanos, as well as a range of topics, disciplines, and breeds in locations from the European riding halls to the mountain ranges and cowboys of the American west. Some content is available for free via Interagro’s website, including the out of print O Cavalo Lusitano, while most others are available for purchase via Amazon.
With over 40 years of experience breeding, training, and exporting Lusitanos, Interagro’s mission is to preserve the exceptional bloodlines and qualities of the breed while showcasing their talent, beauty, and intelligence, especially in the FEI and sport horse disciplines. Established in 1975 by Dr. Paulo Gavião Gonzaga, Interagro’s initial vision was to preserve and restore the original foundational Lusitano bloodlines and lineages, many of which were in danger of extinction following the Portuguese Revolution of 1974. Through meticulous breeding, exceptional care, and world-class training, the Interagro Lusitanos of today continue that legacy as they compete across four continents. And now, over their 4 decades of equestrian excellence, the story of Interagro has been immortalized in an unmatched equestrian library complied by Interagro Lusitanos and perfect for a time when going to the barn might not be an option!
