becoming a champion
and building a future.

The problem

The system forces an impossible choice.

Every elite young rider faces the same wall. And it shouldn't exist.

01

Schools stop authorising competitions

Your child misses classes, falls behind, grades drop. The school stops approving travel. You have to decide: sport or studies.

02

Catching up never really works

Borrowed notes, studying on planes, asking for special exemptions — it holds for a while. Then the pressure builds and something breaks.

03

Two outcomes that should never exist

Either a future champion walks away from sport, or a talented young person sacrifices their academic safety net for life.

04

No programme existed for this

Tennis has the Rafa Nadal Academy. Football has elite academies everywhere. Equestrian sport had nothing — until now.

Club Hípico La Gubia was like a second family to me for many years. The atmosphere while I was there was unique and we literally spent every possible hour at the stables. The facilities are exceptional and by far the best you can find on the island, with professionalism from beginner to competition level.

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know before applying.

We accept riders between 14 and 18 years old. Each application is assessed individually to ensure the programme is the right fit for the athlete's current level and goals.
Ideally riders bring two horses. If you have one, we can help with leasing or purchasing a suitable second horse. We also advise families who need full guidance on horse acquisition.
We work primarily with the British curriculum, but assess compatibility with the IB, American curriculum and other programmes individually. In most cases continuity can be guaranteed with proper planning.
We typically work with riders competing from 1.00m upward, with ambitions to reach 1.30–1.45m+ during the programme. We assess each candidate's current level and trajectory individually.
The investment level varies depending on horse situation, academic needs and programme options selected. During your admissions call you will receive a personalised proposal tailored to your family's situation.
Complete the qualification quiz below. If your profile is a match, you will be invited to a personal call with the Academy Director. A deposit secures the place after that conversation.
