The second stage of the Western Gymkhana Trophy Ice, a regional equestrian competition under the Fitetrec-Ante Lazio circuit, will take place on December 28th at the Equihome Equestrian Center in Cerveteri. This event is the central phase of a three-stage trophy, with the final stage scheduled for January 25, 2026. Western Gymkhana is designed to introduce riders of all levels to American Horsemanship, emphasizing not only speed but also technique and precision in maneuvers. Participation requires riders and horses to have appropriate experience and fitness, reflecting consistent training and respect for the horse’s abilities.

The discipline caters to both young riders in training and those aiming to refine their skills, serving as a key regional competition for pairs from various centers across Lazio. Marco Sterbini, the new director of the Gimkana Western Lazio discipline and an experienced Show Manager, is actively involved in organizing the events and advancing the sport’s technical and competitive standards. Pre-registrations for the December 28th stage are open until December 24.
