The event was held in the UK at the end of July with a full house and full day of demonstrations, learning, talks and meeting people.
Nuno presented two Lusitanos –
one working in hand showing in lateral work. How to prepare the horse and teach simple lateral movement in a calm and confident way. The second horse was a top Lusitano that was actually the reserve in the 2012 Spanish Dressage team. Nuno explained to a young 14 year old boy Zack the son of Tina Layton at Contessa Riding Centre and owner of the horses – how ride piaffe and passage and making the transitions. It was wonderful to see.
