General Interest

General
NATIONAL HORSES
She rides the Portuguese Lusitano breed of horse during competitions. "Of course it is more meaningful to me to achieve results with a Lusitano. Their 'warrior' mindset and willingness to always be at the side of the rider, their natural charm and the ability to make collected movements are the great advantages of the Lusitanos. The challenge for the Lusitano breed is to keep improving the body strength of the horses. I've been lucky to ride many different type of horses in dressage." (eurodressage.com, 12 May 2020, 05 Jan 2019)

STABLES
She relocated to Germany in 2018 and is based at stables in Krefeld. (eurodressage.com, 25 Mar 2020)

HIGHER EDUCATION
In 2008 she completed a master's degree in accounting at the Catholic University of Portugal. (LinkedIn profile, 01 Jan 2020)
