(San Patrignano, Italy)- Stefano’s dream is to become an international rider. He has always had this passion for horses, “as far as I can remember” he said with a broad smile.
Charismatic young man of 23 years old, Stefano has worked tirelessly since June to prepare for the arrival of the horses participating to the FEI European Jumping Championship, with the team in charge of the stables. “We have moved the 90 horses of the community to other stables down the hill, cleaned up and disinfected all the boxes to welcome our European competitors,” explains Stefano. “Now we take care of the maintenance of the stables, as well as of the resident horses, mares and foals”.
