Tuesday 13 October | SHOWJUMPING📍 Ohaupo Equestrian Indoor

Wednesday 14 October | CROSS COUNTRY📍 Rivermonte Park Cambridge

Riders can attend one or both days, although priority will be given to those booking both. ALL ages and levels are very welcome, from grassroots riders through to experienced competitors, Dan is incredibly patient and welcoming, no matter what level you are at!

ABOUT DAN 🇮🇹

Dan Bizzarro is an international event rider who has represented Italy in numerous Nations Cup competitions, including the 2025 European Championships at Blenheim, and was shortlisted for the Paris Olympic Games in 2024.

Having initially ridden for legendary British eventer William Fox-Pitt, Dan has since established his own successful coaching and training business Dan Bizzarro Method and is now sought after by riders all around the world.

He is also the lead trainer for Global Amateur Tour UK leg, so we’ve had the opportunity to see firsthand just how bloody good he is! His coaching is clear, structured and confidence-building, with a huge emphasis on creating harmony between horse and rider.

He’s also an incredibly kind, knowledgeable trainer and a genuine professional across all three disciplines. Whether you’re a straight showjumper like me or one of those crazy daredevil eventers 😜, you are guaranteed to come away with plenty of new tools in your kit! 💪

We’ll also have a lunchtime Q&A with Dan on both days, open to all riders attending the clinic. It’s a chance to sit down, ask questions and pick the brain of someone with genuine top-level international experience.

⚠️ Spaces are extremely limited and will be allocated first in, first served. Once confirmed, riders will be added to a private clinic group with all further information. Please PM me to be added to this as you will not be able to see your times otherwise!

Very excited to be able to bring an opportunity like this to the Waikato! 🇳🇿🇮🇹🐴
