With over 40 years of experience, Manolo has earned a worldwide reputation as an exceptionally skilled horseman for his holistic approach to horse training, development, and rehabilitation.

He is best known for his dedication to a soft, sympathetic training method that prepares horses physically and psychologically for each stage of training from training level to Grand Prix and Haute Ecole.
From Humble Beginnings To A Horse Training Specialist
From his humble beginnings working with horses, mules, and donkeys on his family’s farm in Andalucía, Spain, to being appointed as the first Head Rider at the Royal Andalusian School of Equestrian Art. Manolo’s steadfast mission has been to learn from the horses to help them develop his learning. For this reason, at age 14, he sought to learn from the best in Spain, from a man with a larger-than-life reputation: Don Alvaro Domecq Romeo. This man combined classical dressage and everyday riding disciplines with training for Rejonero. His horses were considered the best in Spain.
Putting his rich background of skills and experience to good use, Manolo has pursued every training modality, including Rejonero, Doma vaquero, and Acoso y Derribo, jumping, polo, and his greatest love – dressage.

A Horse Training Philosophy That Allows Observation, Patience, And Time
Training horses, no matter what discipline, will always be a work in progress, never a quick fix. The knowledge and skill Manolo has taken the time to develop from the foundations allow him to observe the horse that is presented to him calmly and carefully, then apply his knowledge and intuition to gradually dissolve the layers of physical and mental resistance, leaving the horse feeling relieved and confident in his presence.
He will always confirm that the preparation and dedication to the basic principles of foundational training matter most. You can always and will need to return to those fundamental principles to give your horse back its confidence and balance. That is the hard work for both trainer and horse, to be prepared to revisit the basics many times. He has given thousands of lessons and has seen every type of breed, confirmation, and the troubled horse you can imagine. He has always listened to the horse with him in that given moment.
Over time, Manolo’s training methods will develop correct body posture and improve gait quality and a healthy mind to offer correction and relaxation to those tight, stiff, asymmetrical bodies. This specialized approach has won him the respect of riders and many professionals dedicated to equine wellbeing, including bodyworkers, veterinarians, and osteopaths worldwide.
He continues to remain active in conducting clinics Nationally and Worldwide to help horse owners understand the importance of getting to know their horses inside and out within working consistently with the principle of foundations.
