The art of dressage
Olympic dressage rider. A life devoted to the silent dialogue between man and horse.
Method
"We don't train horses. We learn to listen to them."
Twenty-five years competing and teaching classical Portuguese dressage: the London 2012 Olympic Games with Rubi AR, first reserve at Rio 2016 with the mare Batuta and four national titles. That same work is now open to riders and owners, in Portugal and abroad.
PORTUGUESE ART AND EQUESTRIAN SCHOOL
Balance, lightness and relaxation.
Piaffe, passage and Grand Prix work built step by step, at each horse's own pace. Modern technical training grounded in the classical Portuguese school, with no shortcuts and no force.
