The Riding School

A little sparkle, a lot of fun, and some matching ribbons. 🎀

Moments like these remind us that riding is about more than learning skills in the saddle. It’s about the friendships, the confidence, and the special bond that grows between horse and rider over time. 🐎

Champions are remembered for their victories. Great horsemen are remembered for the riders they inspire.

Conrad Homfeld was both.

A two-time Olympic medalist, World Cup champion, and one of the most respected figures in international show jumping, Homfeld built a reputation that extended far beyond competition. His thoughtful approach to riding, horsemanship, and training earned him the respect of riders around the world.

Among the horsemen who helped shape Denise Cojuangco’s journey in the sport was Conrad Homfeld. Beyond his accomplishments in the arena, he was a mentor whose guidance left a lasting impression. Years later, Denise still recalls his advice to simply “jump the jump,” a lesson she continues to carry forward with the riders she teaches.

Today, at The Riding School Alabang, Denise shares the values of horsemanship, discipline, and partnership passed down by mentors like Conrad Homfeld. Through every lesson and every rider, their influence continues—proof that the greatest horsemen are remembered not only for what they achieved, but for the people they inspire.

Some individuals leave a mark on the sport through their achievements. Others leave a legacy through the people they inspire.

For Denise Cojuangco, Nelson “Neco” Pessoa was more than a champion rider—he was a mentor, teacher, and lifelong source of inspiration. Through his guidance, he helped shape generations of horsemen who carried his knowledge and passion for excellence forward.

Among those he influenced was Bernardo Alves, one of Brazil’s most accomplished show jumpers. Inspired by Nelson’s vision, Denise brought Bernardo to the Philippines, creating opportunities for local riders to learn from one of the sport’s finest horsemen.

Today, that legacy continues through every rider who learns, grows, and carries those lessons into the future. 🏇

Confidence is built in the smallest moments—a steadier posture, a softer expression, the quiet excitement that grows with every ride. 🐎

With Holly, what began as learning has slowly become familiarity, composure, and joy both in and out of the saddle. Every rider’s journey unfolds differently, but the growth always shows. 💚

Riding extends beyond the arena into moments of connection, shared experiences, and a community that makes it all more meaningful. At The Riding School Alabang, it’s not just about the ride—it’s about the life around it.

Be part of a community that goes beyond riding—message us to learn more.

Before every ride, and long after it ends, there’s a quieter kind of connection being built.

In these in-between moments—through care, routine, and simple presence—trust deepens, and the bond between rider and horse becomes something more intuitive.

With Dasha and Quicksilver, it’s not just about riding, but about understanding, patience, and partnership.

Experience the connection beyond the saddle—message us to begin your riding journey.
