Nuno Cavaco Classical Dressage Rider and Trainer

WELCOME

Nuno is a highly experienced classical rider and teacher who has been in the Portuguese School of Equestrian Art for 25 years. He is a kind, sensitive man with a good sense of fun and totally committed to his work, believing that the only correct way to work with horses is in harmony .  He brings these qualities to his teaching both for horse and rider.  He wholeheartedly believes in helping you to advance your riding skills in order to develop a greater partnership with your horse.

During his time at the Riding School Nuno traveled extensively throughout Europe giving shows and displays.  He has gained huge experience in riding many different horses what’s more his equine knowledge extends to veterinary and during the shows he was responsible, along side the main vet for the care and well being of the horses.  Of course this extra knowledge really adds value to his training methods and awareness when working with horses. Horses in training with Nuno are in very good hands. He is always actively involved in their well being in addition to training programme. All horses are worked personally by Nuno and he keeps a watchful eye on everything from stable management, shoeing, nutrition to a balanced training plan.

HORSES IN TRAINING

My friend and I had a fabulous few days with Nuno and Teresa, we saw some beautiful horses, and had several great lessons with Nuno. Nuno is incredibly knowledgeable, is a beautiful rider and a very kind, patient instructor. The accommodation that we stayed in was gorgeous, and had everything that we needed. Teresa provided fabulous lunches for us, and these provided an opportunity to sit down and to further discuss horses, riding and to ask Nuno questions. All in all, it was a wonderful experience, and one that I would highly recommend.

 

Teresa and Nuno couldn’t have made me feel more welcome and at ease. Nuno is a thoughtful and gifted trainer, not just correcting my riding but helping me to understand why the horse was responding in a particular way and how to react in turn. He also took the time to understand where I was at with my own horse in the UK. I am extremely grateful for the time I spent at Lusitania Heritage and now that I am back home so is my horse! An invaluable experience. Thank you.

This was a life changing experience! We felt like part of the family for our stay. Nuno, Teresa, and the team looked after our every need. We stayed in the traditional Portuguese cottage nearby. A short walk to the stables, where the horses were happy and well looked after. The atmosphere was very relaxed and calm. Nuno’s way of teaching and explaining, along with humour, was enlightening. Teresa’s Lunches were so delicious. We will definitely be back.
