THE VALENÇA METHOD

Welcome to the Academy of the Valença Equestrian family.

OUR TRAINING METHOD HELPS YOU REACH YOUR RIDING GOALS

So if you want to develop a better seat or hands, learn in-hand training, long-reining, or pillar work; or perform one time tempi changes, piaffe, or canter pirouettes, you’re in the right place.

Testimonials

My stay with the Valenças was incredibly educational with the horses and the learning in focus. A loving atmosphere in which I think everyone can find their place. The happiest of all is perhaps my horse who now has a better rider on its back. Thanks to Sofia, who was my coach, to all of the Valenças and of course to all the horses. I’m so grateful!

Susanna Maier

First of all, we wanted to thank you and Marie and the rest soo much for this week! It was awesome (like the three times I was with you before ), we learned a lot and who didn’t do it before loves Lusitanos now as well. Thank you for your time, the great lessons, your engagement and the effort you put in it. That we could do a “show” in costumes and the fotoshoot afterwards were a highlight for us and a great ending, so – thanks for that as well
We had an awesome time and I’m sure we all will come back! I definitely want a fifth week
Now we are driving home and then we will ride our own horses to test our new knowledge on them. If you want, we can let you know how they do
We wish you a nice day and please greet all the others, especially Louise and Marie and Ines!
See you next time

Never have we encountered such clear, precise, and kind tuition as with the Valenças. In many years of learning dressage, no one has opened the door to clarity and understanding of the entire system, not just the riding, but also the exact details of the lunging, in hand, long rein and pillars. We are forever grateful because this training was immediately transferable to our horses at home and we will return as often as we can to learn as much as we can.

…Mestre Luis Valença, … is incredible generous with sharing his knowledge and experience as well as his daughters Sofia and Filipa! And I’m also very, very grateful to all their wonderful horses, who allow me to experience the Portuguese art of riding in all its areas: longeing, work in hand, riding, long reining, pillar work, school jumps and more!

The valença family

Luis Valença, widely regarded as the greatest living practitioner of Classical dressage currently alive in the world today.  Mestre Luis Valença was hand-picked by the legendary Nuno Oliveira to be his principal apprentice and assistant in the 1960s.  Luis Valença and his family have been dedicating their lives to teaching both horses and riders for over 40 years.

What is the Valen­ça method?

The method is a systematic approach to training gymnastic exercises from the absolute beginning of a horse´s education through to the high school (and airs above the ground, should you wish to achieve this).  It also applies to horses who have an established education and need structure to polish their movements and progress further in their training.

Online program

We have developed an online training program that you can use at home with your own horse to get the results you desire.

We cater to

all horses, all breeds and all disciplines

We’ve trained thousands of riders and horses in more than 40 countries – including Grand Prix and Olympic competitors.
