My relationship with horses wasn't something I chose — it was something I always knew.
I train and compete at Grand Prix level — where horse and rider perform together the most refined and demanding movements in dressage.
My relationship with horses wasn't something I chose — it was something I always knew.
I was born in Valencia, Spain, and grew up around horses. I went to Belgium to train as a rider, and then on to Germany, to Hof Kasselmann in Hagen — one of the most renowned stables in the world. That's where I learned what it really means to train with discipline and respect for the horse.
After that I settled in Denmark. There I worked with horses belonging to different owners, training and competing at different levels — from young horses to high-level competition. It was the period where I grew the most as a rider: training every day taught me discipline, consistency, and that horses always give back exactly what you put in.
I moved back to Spain and that's where I am now. Today I balance riding with my professional work, which is completely outside the equestrian world. Dressage is my passion. I train my own horses — those already competing at a high level and the young ones I'm bringing on from scratch — and I compete whenever I can. Didara is the breeding programme where my horses are born, a personal project I build with patience and the same respect that guides everything I do.
My goal is to keep competing at Grand Prix level, get better with every horse, and enjoy the process. I'm in no rush. I'd rather do it well than do it fast.
