"In the last 10 years, I needed to find the best way of teaching my guests who, sometimes despite not knowing anything about riding or horses, wanted to explore the region on horseback. My primary goal has always been to take them out on the trails feeling happy and secure. With this in mind, I created a teaching process that allows everyone to learn how to ride (on a basic level) at a faster pace than usual. In the last years, I have taught hundreds of riders and all of them left wth an immense enthusiasm for horses, returning every year to ride in the mountains."
