Portrait of Amalia Ruscone

A passionate performance in the side saddle

As the Amazon of Earth, Amalia Ruscone and her mare “Atrevida” ride through the arena, letting sand rain from the ceiling by raising a hand: an impressive scene! Amalia discovered her passion for the elegant animals and for show riding in the side saddle when she was very young. Ever since, it has been her biggest dream to win over the audience with this forgotten riding style.

Amalia discovered her passion for the elegant animals and for show riding in the side saddle when she was very young. Ever since, it has been her biggest dream to win over the audience with this forgotten riding style. Now her wish has come true, and she is presenting her skills and her passion for riding in the side saddle at CAVALLUNA! 

 

Horses are like a second family

In order to keep up her passion in Italy – where riding in the side saddle is not very common – she and three like-minded riders founded AIMA (associazione italiana monta all‘ amazzone). To the grounded rider, tradition, quality, and aesthetics are of great importance, which is why the part of the Amazon of Earth was just perfect for her.
