RIDING INSTRUCTORS

Miguel Barrionuevo (1959-2015)

Master in artistic riding and founder of Artequus

Born in Malaga, he began his career in the city of Seville being the pupil of Mr. Luis Ramos Paul. He then moved to Portugal and did his training with the teachers D. Nuno Oliveira and D. Luis Valenca Rodrigues. He took part in several contests, proclaiming himself Champion of Andalusia in the year 1992 and 1993 in the functionality classification, and in 1995 he became Champion of Champions in the same category. At the end of his training he began his professional development, creating in 1989 the Artequus Equestrian Centre.

Miguel Barrionuevo was a great Master of artistic horse riding, thus forming a temple in which he gave life to dozens of horse shows full of elegance, art and feeling. Don Miguel said farewell to us but he has left us an established school, a riding style, a way of feeling horsemanship, a passion and a great family that he created and loved with all his soul, Artequus.
