Even though I don't come from a family with a horse background, apparently I showed an interest in horses from a very early age, and my parents supported it so I started having riding “lessons” at the age of five once a week with a family friend. And that was the beginning of it all. There is a quote that quite reflects my journey with horses "A jack of all trades is a master of none, but oftentimes better than a master of one.”. My horsemanship is all about that if it involves horses I am in. Been involved with show jumping, eventing, dressage, alta escuela, natural horsemanship, academic art of riding, trail riding. You name it.
I have been blessed in my path with horses to be able to acquire knowledge and learn from great horsemen and horsewomen, by attending clinics, reading their books, enrolling in their training programs or personally meeting them and having the opportunity to see them work and share experiences.
I don’t want to forget the great horses, and I have been blessed in that sense, that allowed me to be part of their lives from “Xocolate” the first school master that allowed a 5 year old horse loving boy to have his first experience on a horse back, our first horse “Arai” ( got the name from putin together the first letters of my name and my sisters name), “Jeanluc” the horse that really taught me what jumping could be, or “Zyhad” the youngster I am starting at the moment, just to name some.
At the moment I share my life with a wonderful herd of 8 horses, two ponies and a jenny. So I am living the dream.
