We'd had two days to adjust our internal clocks in Lisbon and were now headed to Nuno's old farm, to ride with Tomaz. We found our way to Malveira, Portugal in a downpour. He is quoted as, "The horseman who constantly holds his horse with a strong touch can never improve only the horseman who knows how to work his horse free will discover the art of riding." I also found out that Tomaz Alarcao, a student of his, had bought Nuno's farm and was well respected himself in the world of dressage, having students come from all over the world to study with him in Nuno's beautiful arena. He supported that teaching and practicing riding should be based on lightness, freedom, beauty, and harmony. I thought, "who was this guy?" Master Nuno Oliveria was a classical dressage trainer in Portugal that died in 1989. "Nuno is no longer alive, but he rode a horse, communicated with a horse, better than anyone… EVER!" Jack doesn't' hand out compliments freely. Boy, I thought, that's pretty high praise. "Nuno Oliveira was the best horseman in the world that I know of!" Jack said, with enthusiasm.
A year later, there we were, in her arena, with Jack himself, practicing shoulder in, shoulder out, placing each foot precisely.
She was a perpetual student her entire life. She had met him through the Light Hands clinic, had picked up his book, "If I were to train a horse," read it and re-read it, voraciously studying every word and practicing his maneuvers.
