Scuderia 1918 is proud to announce a historic milestone: for the first time ever, an equestrian Team will have three horses competing in different disciplines at the Olympics. This unprecedented achievement underscores the exceptional quality and dedication of Scuderia 1918 in the international equestrian community.
Scuderia 1918 Viking d’la Rousserie with Kevin Staut – Show Jumping, Team France
Scuderia 1918 Viking d’la Rousserie, under the expert guidance of Kevin Staut, will compete for Team France in Show Jumping. This incredible combination have brought a solid performance in the Rotterdam leg of the Longines League of Nations™, supporting the Team France’s victory with a double clear round.
Scuderia 1918 Don Quidam with Kevin McNab – Eventing, Team Australia
Scuderia 1918 Don Quidam, along with the formidable Australian rider Kevin McNab, is set to make a return in the Olympic arena. This dynamic duo previously captured the world’s attention at the Tokyo Olympics, securing a silver medal for Team Australia.
“With Don we had to work quite hard on the flat to be consistent. I feel like I know him a lot better now and there’s definitely a way to do the best test that he can. He did definitely good in the last competition [he was placed 2nd after the Dressage test at CCI4*S in Strzegom], so we will see”.
Scuderia 1918 Future with Emiliano Portale – Eventing, Team Italy
Completing this historic trio is Scuderia 1918 Future, ridden by the talented Italian rider Emiliano Portale, who will represent Team Italy in Eventing. Emiliano Portale, known for his tactical prowess and over 20 years of competitive experience, is ready to lead Team Italy to victory.
“With Future it has been a beautiful, if relatively short, journey. In a year and a half we have managed to participate in an Italian Championship, European Championship, three Nations Cups and now the Olympics, if everything goes as it should. During this year we have had time to work together on his weaknesses, so I am looking forward to this adventure with Future!”
