Once upon a time…😍 …in the nearby pastures, Ole, a young stallion embarked on an adventure one moonlit night ✨. With a daring leap, he jumped the fence to be with Xara, our lovely mare. Their lovestory 💕brought us the birth of Sultão, a spirited colt🐴. Now, at two years old, Sultão jons a new herd, ready to grow into a magnificent riding horse under the attentive care of his proud new owners. #lusitano #younghorses #younghorsedevelopment

”And all together…” - the challenge of synchronised riding practised by Inga from Germany on Isaque, Daniel from Switzerland on Garrincha, and Aline from Belgium on Caramelo, all orchestrated by Sérgio Henriques
Garrincha and Caramelo with Karin and Monique having fun while practising precision, timing and rythm - directed by Sérgio Henriques

When learning the flying changes it is helpful to have expert teachers like Caramelo and Mário Cardoso. Sabrina enjoys her special class here.
The daily work: Sérgio Henriques working the leg yield with Jozedo and Sabrina, Isaque and Christophe
It is not all about the piaffer, passage and higher movements, turning shoulders and arms to get the right angle is fundamental. Here Mário Cardoso, Sabrina and Xissano are working on the correct angle for the shoulder-in using the mental image of ’the wheelbarrow’.
