You can now have the opportunity to ride an Andalusian or Lusitano horse.

Having imported, trained and produced her own Andalusian and Lusitano horses of which 2 are UK Champions, Alex Gaché has now opened her doors so that other people may have the opportunity of sharing her passion for these magnificent horses.

Alex has turned her home based yard into a centre for classical training, offering private lessons with herself and Debbie Moore on these beautiful horses.

Debbie and Alex met in 2002 when Alex had returned from Spain with three Andalusian stallions, and needed help with their training. Debbie became actively involved with their training and has always enjoyed working with Alex and her horses.

Alex has instructed the art of classical riding for the past 25 years. She has a very calming influence on riders whilst teaching them to ride with feeling and softness. Debbie introduced her to the Alexander Technique several years ago. Now she, too, incorporates this within her teaching to improve balance in the rider.


Having worked with all types of horses, Alex became passionate about the Iberian breed after riding a Lusitano stallion more than 10 years ago. He gave her such a wonderful feel, being light and responsive to the faintest of aids that she has never wanted to go back to any other breed. This same Lusitano is at her stud as the maestro and has allowed many people, including very young children, to experience piaffe, passage, Spanish walk etc.

These horses are responsive, sensitive and incredibly comfortable to ride. There are horses at all levels, from homebred youngsters to advanced schoolmasters.

The training is taken seriously, but the experience is fun and relaxed, allowing you to discover your riding potential through body awareness. Beginners and advanced riders alike, these horses will brighten up your day and bring a smile to your face.

The centre is also able to offer lessons in the Alexander Technique with Vartoug Gulbenkian. Vartoug is a very experienced teacher and has worked with Alex and Debbie for many years. She will be available at the centre on mondays and wednesdays.

There is always a warm, friendly atmosphere at Lomond and you will feel very welcome. Should you wish to experience this opportunity then please call Alex on 01293 862318 or 07808 400847 for an informal chat or to book a lesson.
