It was in 1980 that, looking for learning about dressage and
horses, I began to travel around Europe trying to find the techniques
and knowledge that I missed.
During the last 25 years I have been improuving myself because
of so much learning experiences with the best riders and trainers
of the world.
I have been lucky enough to ride with such a good dressage trainers
as Herbert Rehbein, Reiner klimke, Sjeff Jansen, Patrick Le Rolland,
David Hunt, George Wahl, Arthur Kottas, Hans Riegler, Jurgen Koschel
and, since 1996, with our national trainer, our "big boss"
and good friend , Jean Bemelmans.
I have been enjoying the "savoir faire" of "Cadre
Noir" riders of Saumur, on command of my good friend Christian
Carde, the talent of Arthur Kottas and Hans Riegler of the Viena
Spanish Riding School, the extraordinary hability in collecting
exercices on hand of my friends Manuel Ruiz, Ignacio Rambla and
Rafael Soto from the Royal School of Jerez, and the "Knowhow"
of our Master in High School my friend Alvaro Domecq.
All those are magic moments difficult to forget.
My friendship relationship since 1985 with Anky van Grunsven or
with my good friend and neighbour Beatriz Ferrer Salat , gave
me also nice and rich rapports that give an extra value and interest
to this long list of learning possibilities.
After all that, 30 years of professional experiences as a rider
and trainer and having achieved the preparation of 10 European
Junior and Young riders Championships as a trianer and 2 Olimpics,
Atlanta and Sidney, as a rider, I have realised that in the training
and developing the diferent skills of our dressage horses and
riders , we need seriously to improve in mental and emotional
knowledge of the horse.
Pat y Linda Parelli came into my life end 2002 trough my friend
Cecile Glamour in Barcelona.
From the first moment, they gave me their friendship but not
only that, they also shared with me their enourmus amount of experiences
and knowledge about all those areas that I needed, those that
were ,still after so long time, without the right answer.
Discover the mental and emotional control of our horses and improve
our leadership using the right lenguage coming from the natural
behaviour of the horses, are the keys of this extraordinary method
that Linda and Pat offered me.
From here I invite to all riders and horse lovers , what ever
discipline they are in, specially those from the Dressage world
that I know deeper, to know and practise the Linda and Pat Parelli
Program, achieving a new level of relationship with the horses,
never imagined before.
Thank you my friends and good luck.
