I’ve been around horses since I was a child, and I’ve always liked the thought of having a relationship with my horse where we understood each other instantly, without words, just like you see in the movies. In the past years of traditional riding schools, unfortunately, this aspect has always been missing for me. Everything was very mechanical and cold.

I have worked with several instructors who have taught me different training techniques and had experiences with different horses, each one one of a kind.

I then approached Natural Horsemanship which gave me this feeling of approaching the horse in a different way. After a while, however, this was also not for me, until I came across Positive Reinforcement in 2018 and all the underlying science that goes with it.

I started to do researches, to study equine behavior and psychology, how do they learn, LIMA practices, Human-Hierarchy and the importance for us to possess this knowledge, to create with the horse, a deep relationship built on respect for his emotions, his well-being at 360 degrees and an open communication focused on listening to the horse and empathy. I studied extensively from the books of several well-known authors such as Lucy Rees, Rachael Draaisma, Alexandra Kurland, Karen Pryor just to name a few and then I decided to dive into it. I have participated to several courses and lessons to absorb as much knowledge as possible and put all of it into practice with many horses while also helping different owners. Over the years, I have participated in Warwick Schiller’s courses and academy Attuned Horsemanship, Connection Training, Georgia Bruce (Click With Horses) e Adele Shaw (The Willing Equine) .

At the moment I am an internist at The Willing Equine Academy after being joined by my current mentor Adele at her Ranch in Texas, to learn, live and immerse myself as much as possible in this world of relationship with the horse. I am also part of the IAABC where I became officially a Certified Equine Behavioural Consultant (CEBC) in 2023.
