The World Horse Library has just commemorated the anniversary of the birth of the Portuguese horseman Nuno Oliveira (1825-1989). A "powerful" personality, nurtured from his youth with the principles of classical horsemanship drawn from the library of Manuel de Barros, a wealthy owner of Portuguese horses, and endowed with a talent and equestrian tact globally recognized, he spent his life passing on his knowledge and "philosophy."

The vivid recollections from witnesses, including his daughter, truly made this session colorful and emotional.
