✨ CLINICIAN ANNOUNCEMENT | We're thrilled to welcome jumping clinician DAN BIZZARRO to the Equifest 2026 lineup, travelling all the way from the UK to join us! 🇬🇧🐴

Dan's clinics are all about building better rounds: rhythm, straightness, and confidence over fences.
💬 "It isn't about being brave, it's about having clarity, so your horse becomes easier, softer and more confident every time you ride."

Dan has represented Italy in Nations Cup competitions, was shortlisted for the 2024 Paris Olympics and competed at the 2025 European Championships. He's worked alongside some of the best coaches in the world, including William Fox-Pitt, Caroline Moore and Ian Woodhead, and credits their influence with shaping how he rides, how he thinks and how he teaches. Dan is also the trainer for the Global Amateur Tour UK Eventing Tour and has spent more than two decades riding, training and coaching across dressage, show jumping and cross-country.
