Fernando and Jane Garcia own the Hacienda and will be running your Riding  Holiday, with help from Caty and Vivi , their daughters, and the rest of the Epona team.

Fernando is a Spanish citizen born in Guatemala. He has lived in various countries such as Italy, Mexico (where he completed his University studies as an architect), Los Angeles (U.S.A.), Colombia and finally Spain. Jane was born in Scotland, and moved to Colombia where she worked as a schoolteacher and in the British consulate. There, Jane and Fernando met, married and had their two daughters. They both had a life long experience with horses as Fernando grew up riding in his farm in Guatemala and competed successfully in show jumping as a young man; And Jane started riding aged 10 in the local riding school where she worked in exchange for rides. They lived together in Colombia for 8 years where they taught riding and bred horses.

The Garcia Family moved  to Spain in 1982 and after three years looking for the ideal spot, they finally bought the 400 hundred year old Hacienda "Los Nietos", which they renamed "EPONA".

Fernando and Jane slowly began to renovate, buy horses, etc., while Caty and Vivi grew up immersed in the building of the business and became competitive riders winning prizes in pony competitions first and then in dressage and show jumping. Now they both work at Epona teaching and training horses.
