Black  Swan  Journeys  invites  you  to  spend  an  adventurous  weekend  at  Japalouppe.  This  Equine  training  session  
will   be   conducted   by   Mr  Rohan  More.   The   aim   of   these   sessions   is   to   help   the   participants   learn   to   rise   to   the   trot  
in  the  right  way.  
 

 
 
About  the  expert:    
Rohan  grew  up  on  the  stud  farm,  where  riding  horses  preceeded  learning  to  climb  trees,  swimming  or  falling  off  
bicycles.He  loves  to  sit  and  chat  about  all  things  under  the  sun  and  most  of  his  philosophies  on  life  have  been  learnt  
from  horses  and  other  animals,  which  have  earned  him  the  nick  name  of  Dada.    
 
Rohan   has   won   multiple   national   level   equestrian   tournaments   and   has   successfully   coached   many   current  
national  level  riders  as  well.However  his  true  passion,  focus  and  dedication  is  towards  teaching  at  the  grassroot  
level  to  help  build  equestrian  sports,  acting  as  a  translator  and  mediator  between  horses  and  those  who  love  them.    
 
When   he   is   not   playing   with   his   horses,   the   tries   his   hand   at   being   an   amateur   chef,   practical   joker   and   sudden  
bursts  of  creative  arts.
