About
International penner, self-taught by vocation: his first mare at 16, kept with his own earnings in a field near home. With Pasuco he won everything in gymkhanas; since 2000 he has been in Team Penning, up to the 2015 world titles. Today he teaches by watching people the way he watches horses.
