Already at the beginning I was touched. What a dedication to save this breed! You could feel the emotions behind even through the camera. Those ponies look amazing! The movements are great. I hope they can be there for generations to come. Thank you so much Alyssa for taking us along sich a precious journey of discovery!

I'm from the Bay Area in California. My Nauni had told me growing up, how my great-great grandfather sailed alone across the Atlantic from Lisbon and started a family in Rhode Island. She passed away in 2012 from cancer - but before she did, she began a search to find any living relatives in Portugal. She had found living relatives on one of the Azore islands that owned a horse ranch that we were told was over a century old. I know that she had been able to contact them somehow, but that point of contact was lost when she passed away. It's on my bucket list to visit Portugal, but more specifically to visit Lisbon and the Azores. Nauni never got to, so it turned into my mission to visit for her. She had gotten the chances to travel to Mexico many times, as well as Morocco and different places in the USA. But Portugal was the one place she really wanted to visit but never got to. Thank you for highlighting these majestic horses, and for showing some love to my distant relatives. And thanks to the KZitem algorithm for recommending this video to me!

Oh, I absolutely adore these! I had never heard of them before, most likely because I have no real interest in smaller breeds. But these guys are absolutely lovely, they looked like a sized down version of a typical spanish horse, I love that!

I have never heard of the Terceira Pony. This is what I love about your channel - you introduce me to different breeds and recount their history and let us hear from the people who own them. What a valuable channel you have created! Love it! I have a Missouri Fox Trotter mare and love her and that smooth ride. Is the Terceira gaited also? I noticed they gait similar to a Pasafino, which is also gaited. But you make me want to get some of these breeds you show on your channel. thank you!

I’m not sure when you were in Portugal but if you ever have the chance you MUST visit over the Golega (pronounced goal gaa) Horse Festival where the best of the Lusitano breed are presented. This is a week of many different activities and presentations, all aimed at showing the versatility, beauty and character of the breed. There are 2 sessions- one in Spring for mares and yearlings, and one in Autumn for the stallions. Go once and you will never forget it.

100 Terceira Ponies in the world? Wow, that is rare and so endangered. Don't you wish you could ship them to Canada or the US like King Louis did with the 'Canadians'? And, they do look like Luso or PREs that got shrunk in the dryer. Perfect mini Iberians. It's hard to find a dreamy canter... 💓💓💓
