SOFIA : I've start riding when I was five years old and after time and the experience, eventing has became my specialty with experiences in the CIC 2 stars cross country’s circuits.
I've worked with all types of horses (young,stallions,foals,warm,nervous,dangerous..etc) .
I work as Groom/rider in Italy and Spain.
I've good ride skills and a special empathy with horses. Personally when I was in Italy, parallel to horse passion I was at the university, studying for a degree and working have made it necessary for me to learn very quickly how to prioritise tasks, and have instilled in me the need to remain flexible. I have had to be highly organised in order to meet tight deadlines both at work and study.

MICHELE: Since I was a child I used to live alongside animals. My grandfather was the guardian of large crops and pastures in Italy that needed a lot of attention. He involves me in all types activities. Feed animals, drive the tractor, use the tools, learn something of mechanic. It’s the most for a child! It becomes a passion and during the years my grandpa gives me a job! Parallel with studies and the diploma of electronic technician I always worked with him when I could. In lasts three years since I meet my girlfriend, I've increased my horse relationship. She is an experienced rider and for her job we made together a lot of experiences.She introduced me into the world of grooming and many times I worked next her. Now I can handle almost tipe of horse.
