Widely regarded as the greatest living practitioner of Classical dressage currently alive in the world today, our father, Mestre Luis Valença, was hand-picked by the legendary Nuno Oliveira to be his principal apprentice and assistant in the 1960s.
Before that, he had been trained by Mestre D. José Manuel da Cunha Menezes, who had been ecuyer-en-chef (rider, trainer and instructor) to members of the royal family of Portugal. Hence, Luis Valença was the recipient of a crucial moment in dressage history - the point at which the pure Baroque way of riding became influenced by the French school of Baucher, and then Oliveiras subsequent development of that system towards the Classical style we recognize today.
To this system, both Valença and Oliveira added the principals of both competitive sport dressage and equestrian art practiced to its highest form. But there is nothing intimidating about Master Valença - in fact when you arrive you might see him taking care of the gardens, taking out the trash, dragging the arena or training a horse in piaffe or capriole. Anyone who loves the horse is welcome.
