About me

My story

Ever since I was a child i had a calling towards horses.

No one in my family comes from an equestrian background, but i've always had it in my blood.

I begged my parents to let me take lessons at the age of six, and that's where it all began. Despite their repeated attempts to get me to try other sports and hobbies, I wouldn't hear of it, and horses soon became my life.

When I was ten, I was gifted my first horse, Missy, a four-year-old female Quarter Horse, and from the first moment I saw her, I fell madly in love. She was my companion for seventeen years, during which we took up competitive show jumping and managed to jump up to 115cm! Which was something I'd never seen before with a Quarter Horse, but she was magical!

We have always been close to each other through life's ups and downs until a terrible case of laminitis took her away from me, but she's with me every day and watches over me from up there.

A few years before she passed away, the horse to whom I now owe everything, Amadeus, came into my life. It's because of him that I'm here now, telling you this story.

Like a guardian angel, he found me when I was lost and guided me towards what would have been my greatest dream.

Missy in the last years of her life could obviously not be ridden anymore, and while I devoted myself to her care, the desire of riding again was strong, so I began to search for another horse.

I thought I'd never feel a love like the one I felt for her again, but like a hurricane, he turned my life upside down and stole my heart!

I had rejected many horses before him because I didn't feel that "spark" in me, then one day I received a message from the dealer saying "I have your horse".

I suddenly planned to go see him, and as soon as our eyes met, I felt it. Those butterflies in my stomach and that electricity in my body.

I rode on him for ten minutes and decided he was the right one even though he didn't have a shred of training. Two months before meeting him, I broke two vertebrae on another horse, so I was looking for a calm horse I could feel safe with, but that fiery colt with his sweet eyes had won me over, and so Amadeus soon came home with me.

As soon as he came home, the problems began; I discovered he was a wary and fearful horse, and for that reason, he was very dangerous.

I found myself with a horse that was terrified of everything, that had to be sedated for the farrier, that wouldn't let anyone ride him and didn't trust anyone. I was on the verge of selling him because after my accident I couldn't risk getting hurt again, but the thought of losing him broke my heart and I never got around to it.

That’s when I discovered Parelli, I began studying online and I saw results right away. I was so fascinated by the program that I wanted to know more so i started taking lessons.

I fell in love with the Parelli Program so much so, that after a degree in Communications obtained in London and a Masters in Business, I decided to leave the office behind and partake in the process to become a Parelli Professional. I was chosen to go study abroad in the US for three months with Pat Parelli, where I got to learn and amplify my knowledge, and I came back as an instructor! Beyond being a Parelli Professional, I am also an instructor of the Italian Federation of Equestrian Sports, and I'm always progressing in my training because we never stop learning!

Amadeus now no longer is that dangerous, fearful horse who wanted to buck us off any chance he got, but he became my greatest partner. I know he found me to bring out the talent I had with horses and put me on the right path, this one! I always joke saying I am his “human project”.

He has been my greatest teacher and continues to be, and thanks to him, now I can help other horses and humans that are in similar situations.

Today, I dedicate myself to helping my students solve issues with their horses, reach their sporting goals, or simply guide them in a personalized horsemanship journey.

So, this is my story, I hope it can be an inspiration to those of you who, like me, at one point have felt lost with horses. I am here to tell you to not give up, and if you put your whole heart and effort, you will achieve anything you set your mind to! And I promise you I will give you all I have to support and guide you in achieving all your horsemanship goals.

Your horses deserve it, and if you are here reading these words, it already means you are taking a step in the right direction to help make the equestrian world a better place for horses and humans.

“Keep it natural” and chase your dreams, which are never too far away!
