Instructors
Alina Schneider
Alina runs a small riding farm on her family property in the West Algarve. Her connection to horses began at an early age. While other children were taking their first steps, her first "steps" took her on a horse. Even then she felt comfortable on their back and experienced the world from a new perspective. Over time, her passion for riding developed and she became a skilled rider. For her, riding is more than just a sport; it is a form of communication, an intimate dance between her and the horses. She has now turned her passion into a career and have also completed various training courses.

Mundo de Alina is based in the south of Portugal, near Aljezur in the beautiful Western Algarve.
