Ciao from the beautiful Bosco Mignolo Farm in Nepi, Italy! Mississippi State University, led by Ashley Shiffler and assisted by MSU undergraduate Ashley Palmer, conducted the AQHA international horsemanship camp in Italy. The horsemanship camp was hosted by Bosco Mignolo Farm, which is owned by Emanuela Stefani. Emanuela Stefani and her daughter, Francesca Romana-Faro, have had immense success with showing their Quarter Horses in Italy, as well as internationally at the European Championships and Francesca’s success at the American Quarter Horse Youth World Cup.
The Italian riders were interested in improving their horsemanship seat, so the MSU instructors discussed the fundamentals of the correct riding seat and used five riding exercises to assist the riders in improving their seat, leg position and upper body to perfect their horsemanship seat.
