The PRO HORSE TALK

https://nunoavelar.com Born and raised in a small town in Portugal called Mafra I discovered at an early stage of my life my passion and love for horses. I was lucky to meet many inspiring people along the way such as Mr. Joao Lopes Aleixo, Mr. Georges Malleroni, Mr. Rafael Soto and most recently Ms. Anabel and Mr. Klaus Balkenhol, who gave me faith and guidance to become the rider and trainer that I am today. I left Portugal in 2016 with the dream to explore new challenges and use my motivation to support riders and their horses to achieve their personal goals. Making the German Working Equitation team to win the World Championships in 2018 (first time ever in history) made me very happy and with this I achieved one of my life´s dreams. As a freelance trainer I am offering different training options for Dressage and Working Equitation from the unexperienced rider or green horses up to Grand Prix or Masterclass worldwide. I speak fluent English and Spanish and improve my German every day. I invite you to explore what I can do for you! If you wish to learn more about me and my idea of an individual and successful training plan, we shall talk soon to make things happen.

Testimonials "Gilberto Philipe rated 5 stars all around. Good quality horses and instruction - working equitation. Very welcoming and spent time with us individual tips in the group lesson." - Catherine Skinner, Australia ( From Lusitano Tour with Floor) “We visited the stables of Gilberto Filipe, a world champion of Working Equitation (WE), and had a group lesson on his very good horses. The group lesson was easy as he worked with each of us individually and then took us outside to his course once he’d made sure that we all had the basics - this was especially important for me - as my riding skills were not as advanced as the others.” - Judith Sonnefeld, Australia ( From Lusitano Tour with Floor) info by:https://blog.cavago.com/en/blog/working-equitation-trainers#Gilberto
