Major D. Miguel de Lancastre e Tavora (Abrantes) was born in Portugal, son of the ninth Marquis and Marchioness of Abrantes. He started riding with Nuno Oliveira at eight years of age. He rode with Nuno until he was 18 at which time he attended the Military Academy.

He was later appointed as the Chief Instructor and the Director of the Equestrian Division of the Mafra School.

Miguel is a NCAS Level III Instructor (dressage specialist) which is the highest level in Australia and he has trained numerous horses and riders to FEI level, many competing at Grand Prix Level.
