Yvonne Losos de Muniz [personal], DOM, from 2012

She began riding at age four. She initially competed in jumping, but switched to dressage at age 16. (segunda.cl, 09 Jul 2016; aldamir.com, 20 Aug 2014)

She was influenced by her mother, who practised the sport. "I was crazy, and since I was four years old I have wanted to be close to the horses. The only time that I stopped riding was during my pregnancy. Dressage is a dance, as a horse is a rider's partner, and there is a subtle and perfect communication with the animal."
