The skill, level or style that one has is not important. Alfonso creates an environment where the horse is allowed to express his own nature. Only when we understand the horse we will be able to help him to discover what we want from him.

We want the horse to feel comfortable with us, so it can relax and concentrate on what we want him to do. The horse will then become a contempt and secure companion. Our goal is to create a trusting relationship between the human and his horse.

Alfonso‘s Horsemanship program consists in 8 Categories, which he teaches in his courses.
