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
