ROVIDA: ‘A PERFECT VENUE AND ORGANISATION’
On its debut as a 3-star competition, Scuderia La Caccia certainly made a very good impression, highlighting the excellent work carried out by the organising committee, led by Beatrice Guidi, in meeting the needs of a discipline as complex as dressage.
“The venue is wonderful, ” commented Eugenio Rovida – in the pictures first from the left with the jury -, an very experienced international judge who was president of the jury on this occasion –
“In my view, this venue truly exceeds the standard for this category of event. I had previously visited Scuderia La Caccia as a judge and I can witness the exponential growth of the organising committee; nothing was left to chance. The ground is excellent and the main arena features two competition arenas with their respective warm-up areas. The feedback from competitors, technical staff and the judging panel was unanimously positive. Everyone expressed their appreciation and hope that this three-star event will become a regular date in the international calendar. Scuderia la Caccia is a beautiful venue and can certainly aim for an even greater profile on the European scene”.
