I don't think at Golega horse fair it is traditional ladies to wear long dresses for covering the horse's crupper and the garocha poles. I would suggest you to contact Golega city council http://www.cm-golega.pt Thanks for your message.

His stable is full of Lusitanos, mostly stallions and we are giving a demonstration of classical dressage in June. As the finale, we plan to have a number of horses dressed up as if we were at the Golega fair, complete with long dresses for the croupa ladies and a few folks using the garocha poles. We wish the horses to be "decorated" as well and would appreciate seeing photos showing the typical turnout of horses and riders. The official site web page has a problem and will not show the photo gallery. Any photos you could share that would show us how to replicate the turnout would be much appreciated.
