Clare Pedrick is fluent in English though she has lived in Italy for many years. She will accompany riders on many of the rides and is the contact for English speakers.

Andrea Bevilacqua is in charge of riding tuition. With a string of show-jumping successes to his name, Andrea gives riding lessons to novices and experts alike. He is a FISE instructor and regional show jumping champion with years of experience teaching show jumping and dressage.

He heads the trekking side of the business and was born and brought up in these hills. What he doesn't know about horses probably isn't worth knowing.

When not competing with her own horse, Valentina can be found hard at work, putting junior riders through their paces, with pony games and showjumping.
