We are proud to announce our official partnership with "The Equestrian Show", an innovative event that combines equestrian culture with glamour. Twenty-five finalists, one for each region of Italy, won the right to participate in the grand final in Sardinia. A project sponsored by Fise Sardegna and the municipality of Cagliari, will reserve guests of national importance in the world of sport and entertainment.

The prizes up for grabs are numerous and include an annual collaboration for 2024 offered by TVDM. There are also internships with Stefano Brecciaroli, Bruno Chimirri, Riccardo Pisani and Micol Rustignoli, and a course at Daniela Schmidt's Online Academy. We are particularly enthusiastic about the educational aspects of the event, which represent a unique opportunity for young riders to grow and improve their skills.

The final will be held on 16 September 2023 at the Palazzo Doglio Theater and Hotel, in the center of Cagliari in Sardinia. This prestigious and luxurious location will offer the perfect background for the protagonists, who will parade in equestrian dress and evening dress. This will be a time where everyone can show their personality and knowledge.

We are confident that the event will be a great success and wish all attendees the very best in this unique experience. Equestrian culture represents an important heritage of our nation and we are excited to see how this format can help promote it nationally and internationally.
