Groundwork & Long-Reining

An important part of the finca's approach is developing the horse's education through work both in and out of the saddle.

Training activities have included groundwork and long-reining, helping horses develop balance, responsiveness and confidence.

These techniques can also help riders gain a deeper understanding of equine behaviour, movement and communication.

Advanced Classical Equitation

Finca Arte y Sentimiento has promoted instruction in advanced elements of classical riding, including high-school movements and airs above the ground.

Side-saddle riding has also featured among its specialist equestrian activities.

These disciplines reflect the finca's interest in preserving traditional equestrian knowledge and developing the horse's abilities through progressive training.
