Jorge is passionate about his work and extremely dedicated to the horses, their owners, and to the people who come to ride. When asked what he does on his one day a week off, he stated that he likes to stay close to home, which is in the Club Equestre, and be with his family, Beatrice, his wife, and Alana, his young daughter. Jorge has also been known to accommodate people with classes and rides on his day off.

At the Equestre Club you can explore the world of horses and enjoy the pleasure of horseback riding. For those wanting to experience the bonding and communication between horse and rider, Jorge, a certified Trainer, offers riding classes. The Club Equestre has so much to offer, says Jorge. “You don’t have to be an experienced rider to enjoy the fun of riding horses. Riding horses is a sport that any person at any age or gender can enjoy.”
