Teaching the Teachers of Tomorrow.
Do you know that the Portuguese School of Equestrian Art (EPAE), based at the Picadeiro Henrique Calado in Belém, hold unmounted training courses several times per year for those who want to learn more?
Would you like to attend the course if it were in English?
I have attended several of these courses and they give us the opportunity to learn from the school’s riders/trainers through lectures and demonstrations. These trainers have a strong desire to pass on their knowledge for the future. One of the special points, I feel, is that we are actually sitting in the arena just a few metres from those magnificent Alter Real stallions, and, able to converse with these world-renowned experts in classical riding.
I have been discussing with the school on the viability of holding these one-day courses in the English language, as I am sure there would be a lot of interest.
The course would be on a Monday to especially attract those working in the industry. Starting at 10.00 for registration with the first lecture at 10.30. The course would finish by 16.30.
These times would be good for those who need to come by bus or train and avoid an overnight stay. Lunch would be a short networking finger-food buffet, included in the price.
The course would be of interest to those who teach riders or train horses, and, for those who just love learning.
If you would be interested, can you let me know and I can bring the idea forward and a date can be set. Would these times allow you to do it in a day, and from where you would be coming? We are previewing a date between mid-November to mid-December.
