CREATING A LEGACY

Inspiring the Next Generation

What does it mean to leave a legacy in horsemanship?
Join the masterclass.

For accomplished trainer Marsha Hartford Sapp it means more than developing successful horses. It means sharing the knowledge, experience and values of a lifetime with the horsemen and women who will carry them forward.

A USDF Gold Medalist and Diamond Achievement recipient, Marsha is known for her remarkable ability to recognize potential in horses others might overlook—including her celebrated Cobra the Mustang, who rose from the wild to become a national champion and Hall of Fame horse.

At the IBERICON Artistic Academy, Marsha will share the experience and philosophy behind CREATING A LEGACY — Inspiring the Next Generation.

Come Behind the Curtain of Artistic Horsemanship and learn from the horsemen and women who have devoted their lives to the art.

We have a WINNER! Congratulations Marta Justiça

𝐈𝐁𝐄𝐑𝐈𝐂𝐎𝐍 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟔 𝐎𝐅𝐅𝐈𝐂𝐈𝐀𝐋 𝐏𝐎𝐒𝐓𝐄𝐑 𝐀𝐍𝐍𝐎𝐔𝐍𝐂𝐄𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓

Artists from across the globe 🌍 ; including the United States 🇺🇸, Canada 🇨🇦, Mexico 🇲🇽, Portugal 🇵🇹, and Spain 🇪🇸 among others, applied with remarkable creativity with a total of 18 outstanding submissions.

Today, we are proud to unveil the official poster for IBERICON 2026, created by Marta Justiça, with design by Rémi Blot.

✨ About the artist
𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐚 𝐉𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐜̧𝐚 (Portugal, 1999) is a contemporary artist whose work is deeply rooted in a lifelong connection to horses and the rural landscape in which she was raised. This early environment shaped her sensitivity to movement, presence, and atmosphere elements that continue to define her artistic language.

Before earning her degree in Product Design, Marta developed her practice independently, forging a self-directed path focused on technique and visual identity. She also collaborated with PullCast, contributing to a luxury design project inspired by the Lusitano tradition.

Today, the Iberian horse remains central to her work—not merely as a subject, but as a powerful vehicle for expression. Through its form, energy, and symbolism, she explores themes of memory, identity, strength, and transformation.
