Sofia Ferrero will be one of the new testimonial brands and together with her incredible mare Bimola D, they will be accompanied by our jewels and products. To welcome her we wanted to interview her about her experience at Samorin 2019.

Sofia this year you touched the Samorin competition fields, an incredible and amazing international competition. When you discovered the convocation, what was your first thought?

A month before the start of this international competition, I received the proposal of participation from my instructor: a great and unexpected surprise for me! At first I was very uncertain because I was aware of the difficulty that awaited me in Farrier's Arena of the X Bionic Sphere, but in the end I decided to accept and make this new experience. Despite this, I am very happy with how I managed this contest emotionally, or rather with the calm and the right serenity that led me to achieve very important results for my personal growth in this sport.

Summarize the race days in one sentence.

Pass by great riders and amazons, federal technicians working together in the X Bionic Sphere fields, and a very large audience moving from one to another to see races of all heights (from CSI 1 * at the Nations Cup), have made this experience unique for me, a small and big goal to add to those already collected.

How did you get classified? Who would you like to thank for this experience?

The first day was very positive, a good start, however, marked by an error in the obstacles due to a lot of bad luck that placed us in 16th place in the final classification.

The second day, the most significant for me, stood out thanks to the 5th position that allowed us the entrance to the award ceremony and consequently the lap of honor together with the other two Italians present in my same category. It was also an incredible emotion to hear the hymn of another Nation and not of Italy: it is part of this fantastic sport!

We closed our first international competition by placing the last day ahead of all the Italians in the category, and leading the ranking from 12th after all the qualified pairs to the barrage.

Thanks go without a doubt to my companion of adventures, Bimola D, who thanks to her experience has been able to give me unique emotions in this our first CSI 1 *; and the merit is also of our instructor Flavio Giordano and ASD Hobby Horse, who with a lot of work have taken care of our preparation for this very important race.

Have you ever thought you could achieve such a goal at a young age? What are your next competitive programs?

I have been in the Hobby Horse stable for a year and since my arrival they have been able to give me so much, but I never thought I could participate in a CSI 1 * in the most modern sports center in Europe! It was really a great surprise and I really appreciated the trust I was given to face this test.

I feel very fortunate to have had this great opportunity at my age, I thank my parents very much who are always available to satisfy all my dreams and to live with me the good moments and achievements.

Regarding the competitive program, the next most important events will be the Italian Championships at the Arezzo Equestrian Center and I hope to be able to participate again as last year at FieraCavalli Verona, also a unique experience for me.

For your competitions you would like to have even more style, how do you feel knowing that you will soon receive our products?

I am very happy about the great welcome I received from you! I'm ready to make my little champion Bimola D shine even more!

How did you hear about TVDM Equestrian, what impressed you about our brand? Would you recommend it?

TVDM Equestrian immediately pointed out on social media, Instagram in particular.

It's hard not to notice those beautiful fronts that always shine!

Great for giving your horse that extra touch of elegance!

Which colors do you love the most? What do you use most in the race?

Blue has always been my favorite color! An intense color, symbol of calm, tranquility and balance. Give elegance to any horse and to all the fans of this sport, that's why I always choose it to accompany me in the race!

Our motto is #SHINE AND DREAM, how could you interpret it?

No doubt with a TVDM Equestrian product it shines! The crystals placed on the fronts and on the other products are so unique and particular that they really make you dream.
