What they say

The San Patrignano International Horse Show is one of the most prestigious appointments on the international equitation circuit.

“Coming to the show, one immediately realizes not only the amount of work behind the event, but behind the daily life of each member of the community. This is the proof that it is possible to leave drugs behind. Above all. It is the best way to raise awareness of our society’s great problems in the sporting community and create solidarity."
