Biography of Jean Philippe Giacomini (JP)

Jean Philippe Giacomini, internationally known as ‘JP’, was born in France where he received a formal education in equestrian sports through the French Cavalry system at his neighborhood riding club. Later, he studied dressage with Master Nuno Oliveira in Lisbon, Portugal and at the National Portuguese stud of Alter Real with Don Jose Athayde. Because he found that the advice “by the book” often failed him for correcting training problems, he had to figure out on his own the intricacies of horse training by trial and error. 

He rode many ‘green’ colts, raced in a few steeplechases, evented, show-jumped and trained his first of many Grand Prix dressage horses when he was 17 years old. Through his travels, he studied the techniques of great riders from many countries and various disciplines. He was lucky enough to ride horses trained by direct students of the great French luminaries (Decarpentry, Cuyer and others) as well as Portuguese and German masters’, such as Dr. Borba and the late Herbert Rehbein. Later, he worked on well over 10,000 remedial horses during clinics given on three continents.
