The Future of Equestrian Sport Alliance (FESA) has announced a collaboration with Athena Hepburn, an accomplished international dressage rider and trainer known for her expertise in natural horsemanship and the Parelli method. Athena, who recently won the 2025 Madrid Grand Prix and the King’s Cup in the Grand Prix U25, brings a blend of sporting excellence and cultural awareness to the partnership. As the granddaughter of Audrey Hepburn, she represents a new generation of equestrians committed to responsible engagement and animal welfare.

This partnership aligns with FESA’s mission to modernize and secure the future of equestrian sport by addressing challenges such as animal welfare, sustainability, and innovation. Athena will contribute her field experience and multilingual skills to FESA’s initiatives focused on high-performance sport and equine welfare, promoting collective action and a long-term vision for the sport’s ethical and social sustainability. Both parties emphasize the importance of shared responsibility in shaping the future of equestrianism.
