“Hi     I am Marji.  

This is a message of greetings from Western Australia to Germany. 
I am sad that I have not been able to be with you all today, to celebrate the life of Nuno Oliveira and his impact on people around the world but I have been prevented by the actions of others here at Yardah. That’s life. But, in accordance with the invitation by Manuel I am with you in spirit. 
Nuno Oliveira – This man was a gift from the Gods. Sadly, it was only after his death, that Nuno’s genius was recognised broadly.  There was really only a small collection of students who embraced his ideas and each of us, had a different “take away” depending on our own experiences.  

However, while our techniques and what is most important, may differ; we all have the same core foundation due to the influence of Nuno.  
The impact of Nuno on us was so powerful.

For me, an outback West Australian, middle-aged, plump woman was so inspired and my passion ignited that I wanted to share Nuno’s ideas everywhere.  Before that, I had never heard a trainer mention the word LOVE and ART as part of the relationship between the human and the horse.  (It is fashionable now, but it wasn’t then.) 
Well it led me around the world.  
Each of us, has taken something different from the “Nuno Experience.”  One of the greatest gifts, I had from Nuno Oliveira, was to continue to search for more knowledge.  Of course, I only wanted to learn from others who were disciples of Nuno, particularly in Portugal.

This lead me to meet, learn from and discuss ideas with, especially, Luis Valença and Manuel Jorge de Oliveira.  I have had many debates with Manuel, and I thank him for meeting me as an equal.  I wonder if he will remember our hotly debated ideas of where the riders’ shoulders should be in the half pass in walk and trot.  I still smile now, about the day when we left the arena, and went back to his house, to look at some videos of Nuno riding while we “debated”. Sometimes, debate is a polite word for argue. (still smiling.)
There are many people who now claim to speak for Nuno.  Many of these people did not even meet Nuno.  For me, it is not just because people had learned from Nuno, but people who had real life experience to incorporate the depth of the knowledge and the passion of Nuno.  Manuel, is one.  

Whatever opinion one has about bullfighting, I always think that a Rejoneador has to have a truly “dressed/dressaged” horse. An athletic, balanced, strong horse with an inner connection.  In fact that there is an ultimate partnership when both are on the same team.  
Like people from centuries before, dressage was real, as people depended on their horse. Not like the competitive dressage that we see so much now, which I think is so false and horses are required to be robots and use their bodies incorrectly.  For me, even if that was the only reason to trust the knowledge of Manuel, it would be enough;  but Manuel and Luis has more than that.  

You are now lucky, that you do not necessarily have to go to Portugal for this experience; you can have it in Germany, though the Portugal experience is unique. Try both.

Greetings and hugs to everyone whether we have already met or perhaps we will “meet” online at some point in the future or even, personally, when my current challenges are overcome. 
Have a great day.  

"BE INSPIRED AND BE IN LOVE.”
