Rita

No equine related courses, just many years of experience and learned a lot from my trainers.

I have 17 years of experience as a Dressage rider. I have competed for many years, and I also have some experience in horse jumping. I ride all kind of horses: youngsters, stallions, chestnut mares, ponies; different breeds like lusitanos, warmbloods and other. I worked full-time for a year as a dressage and jumping coach and professional rider in Portugal, before moving to London. I’m used to prepare horses for competitions. I do a lot of groundwork with horses as well.

Riding horses who are recovering from injuries, green horses and young horses, grumpy horses, I have experience in starting horses. I also have the skills to jump but my speciality is dressage.

I started competing at the age of 8 all arround Portugal and earned some titles. I was placed 1st in the National Ranking Juniors level for over 2 years. I have worked in a competition yard and my job included having to warm up the horses and my students, preparing them to high standart, and me competing as well, showing horses that were for sale.
