It was wonderful, learning from Nuno on such well-trained and willing horses. Nuno is a true classical horseman, and I greatly appreciated his profound knowledge of dressage, and kind, understanding approach to bringing out the best in horse and rider. I would be honored for the privilege of training with him again in the future.

What a fantastic experience! Patient and skilled instruction, talented horses, delicious food and absolutely enjoyable companionship. I’m planning my return trip!

The trip is not cheap but you get what you pay for! Working with Nuno improved both my approach with my horse and for sure my in-hand skills. I left excited to return home and refine my training. I came by myself; everyone was kind, welcoming, and professional. I already am planning a return in the fall.

This was my 4th Classical Riding Retreat with Lusitano Heritage. Each one has been a slightly different experience depending on fellow visitors. The riding lessons are tailored to the individual. This is a boutique experience that is much different from the commercial riding schools in other locations. It is always great to spend time sitting in the gallery while watching other lessons or training sessions. The real treasure is the chance to learn from master trainer Nuno Cavaco. He is always willing to answer questions and explain everything in depth. I can't wait to return.

This was my second Heritage Family Farm Experience with Lusitano Heritage. It was outstanding in every way. The location is gorgeous with plenty of opportunities to explore the beautiful countryside. The accommodations are extremely comfortable and the hospitality is next level! This location offers a very unique opportunity to experience traditional cattle work on horses in addition to classical dressage lessons. I was able to ride various horses both in the arena and out working cattle each day. It is truly an incredible experience that isn't available anywhere else.
