What you can expect

This session is designed for riders with a solid foundation who wish to enhance their classical, refined, and conscious riding skills, working with highly trained Purebred Spanish Horses (PREs) selected for their conformation, sensitivity, and willingness to perform advanced work. The lesson is structured around the fundamental principles of classical riding: straightness, balance, impulsion, collection, and lightness. Technical work includes exercises on one and two tracks—shoulder-in, half-pass, haunches-in, and haunches-out—along with pirouettes, transitions within the gait, and variations of cadence, aimed at refining mobility and correct biomechanics. High School movements—piaffe, passage, and Spanish walk—are approached progressively and functionally, integrated into the overall training as an expression of the level of collection, obedience, and harmony achieved, never as an end in themselves. The central focus of the session is quality of riding: an approach based on maximum softness, precision of the seat, and economy of aids, aiming for a horse that responds to the rider’s intention with understanding, calmness, and mutual trust.
