Alejandro was born and raised in Huelva, in the region of Andalucía, Spain. Horses were part of his world from an early age. What began as a fascination soon grew into a disciplined passion—one that led him into the world of dressage.
Alongside his equestrian pursuits, Alejandro earned degrees in Nursing and Pedology, which enriched his understanding of care. However, his heart ultimately guided him back to the arena, where je decided to fully dedicate him self to dressage.
During Alejandros’s time competing in the U25 category, he consistently achieved strong national results, regularly placing within the top ranks in major Spanish championships. He had the honor of being selected as a reserve rider for the Spanish team at the European U25 Championships 2016 & 2017 with his horse Don Generoso. It was an important milestone in his international career and further fueled his dedication to dressage.
Today, Alejandro is based full-time at Monte Branco das Oliveiras in Portugal. He competes Giraldo MVL at GP level and they just entered their first CDI’s together. He also compete the young PRE Stallion Taranto HM.
Outside the arena, Alejandro enjoys going out and meeting new people, and he has a deep love for the vibrant culture and beauty of the city of Seville. These moments of connection and inspiration provide balance to his focused work with horses.
