I met Jorge at Anderson Ranch last summer and recently spent a week riding with him in Monterrey Mexico. Jorge started riding at a young age and was in the Grand Prix’s by the age of 22. Career highlights include two gold medals at the Continental Championships (individual, team Mexico) and showing across the world in places like, Aachen, Spruce Meadows, ext.
I received a few questions from readers and here are his answers. His favourite mount over the years was a Mexican Warm-blood mare named Adventure. “Her personality was unbeatable, she was a real competitor” were Jorge’s words about Adventure. Someone asked about his training and conditioning plans for the competitive horses. They work everyday except Monday’s and get jumped normally two times a week. He only jumps small fences for the most part and lots of gymnastic lines focusing on the little details and perfection. What was his favourite memory from shows? Meeting his wife Glady at a show in Mexico, “our eyes just met and that was it” said Glady and Jorge nodded his head agreeing with his wife’s comment.
Jorge spends his days showing his string of young talented horses based out of Monterrey Mexico. He has his own brand of saddles, bridles, and girths that are great quality at reasonable costs. Stay tuned for future information about his line of tack products coming soon to Equestrianplanet.com.
