Equitopia Challenge
Where Traditions meet the Future
Today, serious riders are looking for a different kind of horse/rider relationship other than the one that traditional riding offers, one in which horses and riders can feel, communicate and share in such an intense way that they interact as one.
This is so true that natural horsemanship has very recently become a federated activity (Fédération Française d'Équitation).
EQUITOPIA® will reveal the best riders in this new discipline. Using different methods, these experts in their art achieve an astoundingly harmonious partnership with their horse making for an amazing show. Four original events - this will be a world premiere - have been specifically created for EQUITOPIA® by Mike Paulin.
Renowned riders and behavioral scientists will be on the judges' panel. They will give a live commentary on competing riders' gestures and decipher horses' behavior. Curious spectators who are interested in innovation will enjoy the combination of theory and practice, giving them a new reason to love horses.
A new art of living, in praise of harmony and a hymn to love, for the initiated and uninitiated alike, EQUITOPIA will leave no one indifferent.
