I began riding horses at age 8, taking classes at a small, private facility. I fell in love with our neighbor’s Westfalen gelding named Monsoon, and when I was 12, my parents bought him for me. I was able to participate in my first competition under the expert supervision of an event rider. When I was 15, I was lucky enough to experience steady riding training under Olympic champion Harry Boldt and at 16 I won my first M-level dressage test against professional riders.
Today I look back over 40 years of riding experience, having up until a few years ago successfully ridden, placed and won S and St. George tests.

Here on the Costa Brava, near Figueres, Roses and Empuriabrava, we have built a small, well-kept riding center with roomy horseboxes sized 4×3 m. and 4×6 m. and excellent exercice opportunities for the horses and a riding arena of 50×20 m.
We’ve lived here since 1999, I know the region and the people and trought my active competitive riding I have many reputable contacts.
I Know personally all the horses shown on the website as well as their owners or breeders. I filmed and examined the horses and I even tried some of them out under the saddle. It is important to me that the horses have an excellent character.
The Costa Brava is one of the most beautiful places of Spain, combine your horse looking with wonderful holiday in a fantastic environment and many facilities !!
