Training with Nuno Oliveira - "The Basics" and "Advanced Work" - 2 DVD set

Regular price $79.95

These candid DVDs include unrehearsed footage of Nuno Oliveira teaching at his home manège and a little footage outside Portugal. It is amazing to watch Nuno Oliveira ride his own horses at home and to listen to his comments and descriptions of the aids while riding one of his horses. Nuno gives definitive corrections to a young student challenged by the opportunity of keeping her Grand Prix schoolmaster straight. These personal videos filmed by Eleanor Russell at Avessada, Portugal include his private, early morning training sessions. The horses are the typical, ordinary horses he used, Andalusian, Alter Real and Anglos. The DVDs are clear and simple with no interpretation from Eleanor Russell. Each film has a short introduction and minimal subtitles. Taking you back in time, these are a rare opportunity to observe his aids and corrections. 

By presenting these candid, un-edited films we hope to provide an educational experience. Often the horses and riders are less than ideal. There is no attempt to edit out the mistakes.
 
2 DVDs included: 'The Basics with Nuno Oliveira" and 'Advanced Work with Nuno Oliveira.'
NTSC format
Note: The film quality is not digital. The footage, filmed by Eleanor Russell in cine film has been transposed to DVD retaining the imperfections of the original format.
