CEO at Pickdame S.L, certified by the British Horse Society and the Real Federación Española de Hípica. In 2004, after obtaining my degree in Economics by the Universitat Internacional de Catalunya, my passion for horses took me to England where I took my BHS Stages .

I have worked in several yards as a trainer and instructor, training riders and horses towards competing. Helping my pupils to obtain medals at the eventing  Spanish Ponies Nationals.

The drive to learn and improve my relationship with horses has taken me all over Europe and has helped me to meet and share knowledge with great people and professionals; after training successfully many riders and horses, and placing my kids at the Spanish Ponies Eventing Nationals,  I decided to build Pikdame.

Our knowledge and passion makes us unique. We are a professional team devoted to horses and their well-being, and our team takes great pride in doing their job the best way possible.

British Horse Society trained Equestrian Coach (BHSIV), Equine Sports Therapist, Ethologist and mindfulness instructor.
I have dedicated my life to learning about and educating others about these fascinating animals.

Spent 10 years studying, training, and working within the Household Cavalry Mounted Regiment where my skills were used to retrain horses with behavioural problems and rehabilitating horses which had been resting due to injury, as well as  teaching and training the riders in the regiment.

My tireless passion and love for horses have taken me around the world. I have worked with many horses and riders in varying disciplines in remote places like Sudan or Dubai, and closer to home, Germany, England and the Netherlands.

I love sharing my knowledge with everybody who is willing and has the interest and patience to learn and improve, regardless of the rider discipline; I teach from leisure riders, to the more demanding and running a competitive discipline: always connecting with their emotions and drives, to help them improve and gain knowledge.

You can find me giving lessons and training my horses daily at Pikdame, and if you want to know more about me visit www.symbiosis.cat

From the moment I had my first contact with horses at the age of 12, they have been a fundamental part of my life. I am a Veterinary graduate and have specialized in Equine Podiatry and barefoot.  I am very proud to be the first Spanish citizen to have obtained the IAEP (Institute of Applied Equine Podiatry) and the AANHCP (Association for the Advancement of Natural Horse Care Practice) International Qualifications.

In 2012 I became a member of teachers for the Liberated Horsemanship organization.

“I have been involved with horses all my life, eventually progressing onto joining the Army and more specifically the Kings Troop Royal Horse Artillery, where I spent 10 years as a military riding instructor, BHS AI and lead driver in the gun team. I have competed around the country and enjoy show jumping, hunting, point to pointing and carriage driving. I have also produced and schooled many young horses both for parade work and sports purposes.”
