The “Universita dell’ Equitazione” is the riding centre of excellence in Rome. A reality born from the love for the world of horses, in all is skills: from experiences of those who take their first steps to the professional training of athletes and instructors.

The Philosophy

We believe that horseback riding is much more than a sport: for us it is a way of life. This is why we want those who enter this world to want to stay there, grow and improve. And the only way to achieve this is to always offer an excellent experience.

The “Università dell’ Equitazione” also explores new territories, new dimensions of the relationship between man and horse. With our mindfulness and emotional intelligence programs we go beyond horse riding as a sport.

Direction and Team for Didactics

All the teachers, trainers and coaches are professionals whose qualification is supported, in addition to the mature experience, by certifications acquired nationally and internationally. Each program is coordinated by a Program Director who supervises the design, progress and effectiveness of the program and identifies the faculty and team members.
