The 13-year old Italian FEI Dressage pony team rider Alice Campanella has joined the Cavalor Italia family as youngest member fully sponsored by the world wide renowned horse feed brand.
Based in Rettorgole di Caldogno, Italy, Alice has two lovely FEI dressage ponies to ride: Bentley PP, an 8-year old German Riding Pony by Bonetto D x Atlantico, and Flamenco Star, a former German European Championship team pony by Flying Dream x Danny Black.
At age 12 Campanella and Bentley PP competed on the Italian team at the 2012 European Pony Championships in Fontainebleau, France, and won the Italian Pony Championships. With Flamenco Star she rounded off her 2012 show season with one second places and a victory in the individual test and kur at the 2012 CDI-W Kaposvar in Hungary.
Young Campanella attracted the interest of Cavalor Italia this season by producing solid scores during the two weeks of competition at the 2013 CDI Vidauban. At the 2013 CDI Radzionkow in Poland she finished second and third with Flamenco Star scoring in the high sixties.
"We are ecstatic that Cavalor recognized Alice's talent and decided to fully support her," said mom and trainer Anna Paprocka-Campanella. "Alice has already fulfilled the FISE criteria to compete at the 2013 European Championships in Arezzo (ITA) this year and she is very much looking forward to competing on home turf."
