Our Services
Born and raised in Cali, Colombia; Cris started riding when he was just 4 years old. As a young rider, he competed in Colombia where he was consistently ranked top 20 in the country. At 18, he moved to Quito in Ecuador and trained horses for other professional riders, with successful results in national competitions. Five years later, he moved back to Colombia to continue his equestrian career and to train with some of the top equestrians such as Carlos Lopez. In 2010, Cris was able to materialize his dream of opening an equestrian/jumping academy in Southwest Ranches, Florida which expanded to a second location in Miami in 2020. During his more than 40 years in the equestrian world, Cris has earned many accolades and recognition in both local and international competitions. Most of all however, he prides himself on the happiness and continued success of his students and horses.
