Lucie has been thinking mainly about horses since age three. After many years doing dressage and showjumping in Austria, with rather moderate sucess, she travelled around the world several times, first by plane, train , bus and rikshaw, then more and more on horseback. In Southamerica she found countries where it is still easy and acceptable to travel solely on horses, and so she travelled some 2000 km with horses. First she joined the Nomads United in Peru (www.nomadsunited.com), then she chose to travel alone with a horse and a packhorse.

After two years as a horestourguide in Costa Rica life called her to Uruguay, where she not only found the land of her dreams and built her home in the Sierras de Rocha, but also met and married Santiago, the wonderful love of her life.

these days her time is divided between being a hostess to her horse riding guests and the starting of young horses, which she finds highly fascinating and rewarding.

Santiago would actually like to be a hermit....if only we let him. Since he got caught by Lucie`s lasso he has gathered experience as builder of horsebarns, dog`s midwife, fence builder, treeplanter, farrier, massagist, Vet`s assistent, plumber and elecrician, apicultor, chauffeur, foal tamer, fire man, dish washer, psycologist, ornithologist, long distance rider, car mechanic, cook, maid, and barman,

He is the proud owner of CHANDANI, the most beautiful mare on the planet, and actually most enjoys to hang in his hammock and read a good book...if only we let him.
