Juan A. Vendrell splits his time between his ranch in Texas and periods of instruction in Europe. Juan started riding at the age of six in the Spanish tradition. Because of his innate curiosity about the relationship between man and horse, he ventured in the world of natural horsemanship since 1992. Through his travels and studies, Juan was fortunate enough to come into contact with Alfonso Aguilar, a pioneer in natural horsemanship. Ever since they met, Alfonso and Juan have collaborated and participated in clinics in USA and Europe. Presently, Juan and Alfonso focus on the improvement of the relationship between man and horse.
They organize clinics, courses and seminars at the ranch in Brenham, Texas as well as throughout the USA and Europe.
Alfonso Aguilar is, without a doubt, one of the pioneers of natural horsemanship training, a technique based on no confrontation. In 1988 he began working on a California ranch with Pat Parelli and at that time he also met Tom and Bill Dorrance and Ray Hunt. Since 1990 Alfonso has offered courses in the United States, Europe, Mexico, and Australia. In 1993 Alfonso married Karin, a Swiss native and an experienced dressage rider who also worked at the Parelli’s ranch as a horse instructor. She has been conducting horsemanship clinics in USA, Europe, and Mexico as well. Karin Aguilar is also a qualified and a very important member of our team.
