My guest today is a true master of classical dressage — the legendary Portuguese horseman Luis Valença. I had to honor to visit his stables for this interview in September 2025. 

For decades, he and his team have been the heart of the CAVALLUNA shows, enchanting audiences across Europe with their breathtaking Lusitano horses and flawless Haute École performances. Together with his daughter Filipa, Luis continues a proud family tradition, blending passion, artistry, and harmony between rider and horse. Please listen to the incredible story and many life lessons of the great Luis Valença!
