Opiniões dos cavaleiros sobre os concursos de Vilamoura

LAURA KRAUT (USA) – Team Gold Medalist Beijing 2008 Vilamoura is the place to be! It’s like combining vacation with our sport! Vilamoura é o sítio para estar! É como combinar férias com o nosso desporto!

DERMOTT LENNON (IRLAND) – World Champion 2002 For this time of the year, for what I want to do with the horses it’s really good to produce them and give them some experience without pressure. Para esta altura do ano, para o que eu desejo para os meus cavalos é óptimo para os fazer evoluir e dar-lhes mais experiência sem muita pressão.

RODRIGO PESSOA (BRAZIL) – Gold Medalist Athens 2004 The facilities are great, the arenas are fantastic! You can really work your horses here. Also the people are so friendly and the city amazing! I have spent a great time with my family here! As infraestruturas são óptimas e as pistas fantásticas! Temos condições muito boas para trabalhar os nossos cavalos. As pessoas são muito amigáveis e a cidade é fantástica! Devo dizer que passei aqui um óptimo tempo com a minha família!

PHILIPPE LE JEUNE (BELGIUM) – World Champion 2010 Now at this time of the year, when the indoors have started and I wanted to compete more on outdoors, I must say I have made a great choice to come here.

I had no idea how was Vilamoura! I had heard about it but I had no idea it was like this! I have fallen in love!

“Eu não tinha ideia como era Vilamoura! Eu ouvia as pessoas falarem mas eu jamais pensei que fosse assim! Eu fiquei apaixonado!” KATIE MONAHAN-PRUDENT (USA) Team Gold Medal World Championships 1986

I have really liked Vilamoura, because there are many things we can judge, the footing in the ring is fantastic, rain or shine, the horses have good ground to compete on. The stabling is great. Everything around Vilamoura is lovely for the people who are here: the housing, the hotels, the marina and the restaurants. I must say we have had a great time here!

Eu gosto muito de Vilamoura porque há vários aspectos que podemos julgar. O piso das pistas é fantástica, chuva ou sol, os cavalos têm um bom piso para competir. As boxes são óptimas. Tudo à volta de Vilamoura é muito agradável para as pessoas que cá estão: as casas, os hotéis, a marina e os restaurantes. Eu devo dizer que passei aqui um óptimo tempo com a minha família!

LEON THIJSSEN (NETHERLANDS) – Dutch Team member It is not too big, it’s perfect! The organization is great, the people always want to help you when something is wrong. Não é demasiado grande, é perfeito! A organização é óptima, as pessoas estão sempre dispostas a ajudar quando há alguma coisa de errado. LUIS SABINO (PORTUGAL) – Triple winner of CSIO Lisbon Grand Prix It has a lot of qualities, but one of the most interesting things it’s the amazing atmosphere we feel here! Tem muitas qualidades mas umas das qualidades mais interessante é o ambiente que se sente aqui, que é fantástico!
