About Me

Horses have been part of my life since my early age. I was two when my parents put me on a horse for the first time and since then it has been my passion.

I grew up riding many different breeds, galloping in the fields through rivers and mountains. 15 years ago I wanted to go beyond riding and was wondering if one could really communicate with a horse? That’s when I knew about the Pignon brothers -Jean Francois (London Horse Show) and Frederic (Cavalia Horse Show) both have the most incredible gift to communicate with horses and that’s when my journey started.

Can’t wait to continue this adventure with Miguel…the path of a lifetime. Many thanks to you for your generosity, your availability, your listening, your adaptability. In short, your love for horses”

“Learning from Miguel has dramatically increased the joy I experience with my horses. A session with him, for me, is worth 1000 youtube horse videos.

Watching Miguel communicate with my horses, mostly through body language, and getting his feedback on my attempts to do the same made me conclude that Miguel is an amazing horseman and a great teacher. He is motivated by creating a better world for horses, whom he feels are often not understood; and for their owners, who will be much happier once they establish a connection. A trust-based partnership with their horses rather than relying on domination.

What am I learning? It is important to be present, to cherish the time with my horse, to get the horse to relax, and to pay attention to me. I need to give clear signals, pay close attention to the horse, to reward right responses, correct unwanted ones without getting angry or frustrated, and by carefully timing my reactions. This all sounds quite abstract, but Miguel showed and guided me through a dozen groundwork exercises that I use to practice. My biggest challenge has been to control my own behavior so that I can be the calm, clear, consistent, and patient leader to my horses, and to focus on quality rather than just going through a list of exercises.

My horses and I are learning and getting better, and I am having a wonderful time with them. They are no longer pushy or nervous around me, and the fact that they come to me when I go out into the pasture with a halter to pick them up for a session leaves a big smile on my face every time.

I have a lot more to learn and to teach my horses, and am excited get Miguel to work with us in the future.”
