he presence, nobility and sensitivity of the Lusitano horse has always fascinated me. These wonderful horses have helped me to improve myself as a person. My sensitivity had always been a drawback for me until these horses showed me how to use this in my quest for emotions, getting closer to the horses every day.
I started my training in equestrian art at Luis Valença, renowned throughout the world for his equestrian shows. I then went on to Manuel Jorge De Oliveira where I spent four amazing years, under the Portuguese sun. This period truly opened my eyes about riding in the French tradition. Since the earliest days in my training I have ridden several horses every day, always with the same level of interest. After a year of intensive training I started rehab training and schooling several horses under the watchful eye of Manuel Jorge. I still go back there regularly and try to keep in constant contact with him to inform him of the changes in my horses. I believe riding is an art that requires tact, research, calm and concentration. I am looking for poetry on horseback, a sublimation of technique. Equestrian art is my passion and I would like every rider to get the same pleasure as I do when I ride.
