Endurance Team
Valtenesi’s Endurance Team achieved excellent results in many endurance official competitions.
Here you read how they became hight achievers. Because being hight achievers is not only a matter of results and placements, but a matter of balance and respect for the animal nature.
“The passion for this sport shapes every hour of our day. We always handle multiple horses and a complex training schedule to excel in this sport.
We must program all the training sessions in accordance not only with races schedule but also with the horse condition and shape, body and mind.
For us every horse is different from another and so we need to take care of them in many different ways.
Our philosophy is simple: preserve the horse. Respect them. Let them take pre and post-race rests. Our goal is to make them carry out any competition in the best possible condition and without pushing their limits.
We think that the best chances of mastering endurance are given by balancing the individual horse personality with the rider’s attitude and skills.
We define an horse performance as “multi-factorial”. Because when we take care of our horses, we do not neglect any detail, in training as in race.
Even if, like everything in life, sometimes success in sport is just a matter of luck. But we keep on working on care, respect, discipline and hard work, doing our best to avoid mistakes and accidents.
All our horses live outdoors, in individual and very spacious paddock with a shelter. We train on the gentle slopes in the green of the hills, alternating toughest sessions in the mountains or on the flat track, depending on what the trail of the races scheduled required.
Our ultimate goal is to bring each of them to compete in international races at the highest level, in the best way and in accordance with the welfare of the horse.”
