USPRE WEEK





This was another fantastic week full of activities: two days of riding clinics, plus demonstrations by Javier Ruiz Garrido, seminars by Dr. Rob Boswell, Sue Kolstad, Ignacio Candau, Rafael Lemos and a round table. All wrapped up with social events that make this week truly special. My dear friend Lily Forado won the Equestrian of the Year Award! So deserved!

It's truly an honor to be able to be by the side of this very famous, talented man, Juan Manuel Muñoz Díaz. And even more special to have shared many wonderful moments since the first time I translated for him in 2016. Thank you to all at USPRE for a fantastic job promoting this beautiful horse and for asking for my help to translate.



ASANTE EQUESTRIAN WORKSHOP





Started to get involved in a new program to develop seminars and workshops with Asante Equestrian, created by Olympic rider from Dominican Republic Yvonne Losos de Muniz. The first one programmed is going to feature Sports Psychologist Robert Schinke from Canada.



ISABELL WERTH'S MASTERCLASS




Very fortunate to have had another opportunity to watch the Queen Isabell Werth giving a free masterclass at Helgstrand Dressage in Wellington. Her is my report, published on Eurodressage.

***FEBRUARY***
big changes





I guess it's time for the announcement as my closest people already know. I'm going back to Colombia next Saturday, February 10th. My family needs me, and I need it for myself too. I leave part of my heart in the USA, many great friends that became family, and so many great memories! I have learned tons too, about life and, of course, horses.

Thank you to all of you who have made part of this journey. Will miss SO MANY of you!

The good thing about social media is that we can stay "in touch." You are welcome to come visit my beautiful country and I'll be back to visit too!
