Alberto Conde (Cattle + WE/Dressage lessons): Friday, August 14 – Cattle Workshop begins at 8:00 AM · Lessons available
after 1:30 PM
Alberto Conde is a highly regarded clinician from Portugal, currently competing at the
Master’s level in Working Equitation and equally established in classical dressage. He
has worked with horses across a wide range of levels and temperaments and is
excellent with green or hesitant horses.
The Cattle Workshop (Working Equitation cow penning) is the highlight of the day.
Working cattle is not only a Working Equitation competition element, it is genuinely
transformative for a horse’s confidence and rideability, regardless of discipline.
Sessions run in small groups of four riders maximum, so every horse gets real,
focused time with the cows. All levels and experience are welcome, including horses
that are fearful of cattle and ones that are old pros.
Alongside the cattle work, Alberto is also offering Working Equitation obstacle lessons
and dressage lessons for riders who would rather focus there, or want to do both. The
cattle workshop runs in the morning at 8 AM, followed by obstacle and dressage
lessons in the afternoon.
A 50% non-refundable deposit secures your spot. Haul-ins are welcome for a limited
number of spots.
Cost reminder: $100 for the Cattle Workshop (includes $25 for the cattle) and $150 for lessons. $50 haul-in for non-boarders.
