Portuguese Equitation and Introduction to Working Equitation Week

Portuguese Equitation builds on the principles of classical dressage, with some differences in the exercises, the aids and riding style.

Led by experienced instructors you are schooling exercises and gymnastics using poles and pylons in all paces focusing on coordination, straightening, balance and activation of the hindquarters – the foundation for the emerging discipline Working Equitation.

While the discipline consists of 4 phases (dressage, ease of handling, speed trail, and cattle trial) we focus on the dressage and ease of handling to introduce you to the obstacles on our schoolmasters. Join us as we create an inspirational and educational experience that focusses on the connection between horse and rider.
