Transform Your Riding. Transform Your Horse.
October 6 – 10, 2025
High Brix Acres, Reddick, FL.
Picture yourself spending five full days immersed in the art and science of good riding, in the heart of horse country. No distractions. No rushing. Just you, your horse, and the combined genius of Olympic rider Luis Lucio and horse behavior expert Linda Parelli.
This is more than a clinic—it’s a retreat designed to change the way you ride and the way your horse feels forever.
Why This Retreat is Different
Unlike standard clinics, this retreat blends Olympic-level dressage techniques with horse psychology and emotional fitness. You’ll learn not just how to ride better—but why horses respond the way they do.
Through theory sessions, demonstrations, simulations, and one-on-one coaching, you’ll gain clarity, confidence, and breakthroughs you simply cannot achieve in a typical weekend clinic.
And it all happens in an intimate, supportive environment where every rider gets individual attention.

- Practice with powerful simulators
- Coaching with your horse

“Helping the horse to control the position of its spine while carrying the rider is number one goal in good riding. Not only for technical purposes but especially for the horse’s welfare and best biomechanics of its movement.”

Here’s What Other Riders Have to Say About Luis’ Clinics
“When Luis said ‘don’t make your horse do the half pass, TEACH him to half pass’. I realized in that moment that I don’t want a puppet – that is often stressed! I want a horse that understands and collaborates.”
“My horse has always been very emotional about contact. Learning how to GIVE and RETAKE has been a game-changer.”
“I worried that I wasn’t good enough to ride with Luis. But I’m so glad I did… he was as passionate about teaching me as the higher level riders!”
“Riding with a world-class expert could have been really intimidating. But once I got control of my self-doubts, and just did it, I’m happy to say this was the best decision I ever made. There’s so much we just do without thinking. Luis’s attention to detail has taken my overall horsemanship and riding to a whole new level. Oh, and, for someone with his credentials, I have to say he is so friendly and approachable… but, precise!”
“When Luis said ‘your horse is not confident, is emotional… we cannot give him any technical direction until he is calm and confident’ blew my mind! Who talks like that? For the horse’s sake?!”
“I know Linda and how much I can trust her to take care of me as a learner. Having her and Luis together is an amazing combination.”
“I want to do dressage well, but with a happy horse. I want my horse to enjoy this too.”
