Equus Nexus, is the culmination of Michael’s long experience riding, training and competing in several equestrian codes. Because of that experience, Michael and his compatriots, have developed the skills to recognise and create increasingly more subtle distinctions regarding the mental, physical and emotional capacities of the individual horse and rider, and therefore able to continually reset their benchmarks of success.
