 "Creating understanding and trust between horse and rider"

I trained for 3 years with one of the most influential dressage masters of our time, the great Nuno Oliveira, at his stables in Portugal. Today my goal is to pass on my knowledge of his teaching through freelance instruction, based on my understanding and interpretation of Oliveira’s equestrian philosophy. 

 I am dedicated to producing the best from every student, both horse and rider. I use classical principles with the emphasis on a soft and harmonious approach, one that is applicable to all horses and riders.
