Spanish riders Trapote and Márquez Galobardes competed competently in the prestigious Piazza di Siena in Rome.

Technique over the dirt: keys to the Roman course 🐎

The Siena layout demanded millimeter precision in turns and constant pace control. Trapote excelled in medium-height obstacles, while Márquez Galobardes handled the double combinations with fluidity. Both riders demonstrated that the horse's physical preparation and distance reading are critical factors to avoid knockdowns on a terrain that punishes any hesitation.

The horse also has a say: chronicle of a negotiated jump 🏆

The Piazza di Siena is so beautiful that even the horses get distracted by the scenery. Trapote and Márquez Galobardes managed to keep their mounts from admiring the fountains while jumping. Honestly, more than one was so focused they didn't even realize they were in Rome. In the end, zero tourist stops and zero knockdowns: mission accomplished.
