Over time, Giulia developed a strong interest in show jumping. Curious and determined to find a balance between competitive sport and horsemanship, she embarked on an athletic path that led her to work with Luca Moneta, one of the first riders in Italy to integrate these two worlds. She began competing in both national and international events, later continuing her training at the prestigious stables of Giulia Martinengo Marquet and Stefano Cesaretto, where she refined her technical and professional skills.

Despite her progress and success in the sport, this period also marked a phase of deep personal difficulty. The pressures of the competitive environment and an increasingly performance-driven view of riding gradually led her to lose confidence in the equestrian world, although her love for horses remained intact. This realisation prompted her to pause and reflect on her path.

She brought her horses back to Alterreno, which over time had become a human and professional anchor point. In 2022, Angelika Schneider offered her a transformative experience: a horseback journey from Tuscany to Austria. Travelling day after day alongside the horses, Giulia reconnected profoundly with the essence of horsemanship. That experience solidified her bond with Alterreno and marked the beginning of a new professional chapter.

Since 2023, Giulia has served as Alterreno’s First Rider, Instructor and Junior Project Manager. Her work includes teaching riders of various levels, starting and training young horses through natural approaches, managing training and daily horse care, organising events and educational programmes and leading coaching sessions and personal growth journeys assisted by horses.

Alongside her equestrian path, Giulia has also pursued education in emotional and relational dynamics. She holds a degree in Psychological Science and Techniques and has specialised in emotional and behavioural coaching, integrating these skills into her work with both people and horses.

She deepened her coaching studies at I&G Management, training with Diego Ingrassia, focusing on communication, emotional awareness, experiential learning and personal development. She is currently completing certification with the International Coaching Federation (ICF).

Giulia continues her equestrian development through daily training with Angelika Schneider and by studying the work of renowned figures in classical riding and horsemanship, including Anja Beran, Vera Munderloh, Juan Diego Trevijano, and Linda Parelli.

Today at Alterreno, Giulia brings together her work in the saddle as First Rider, her role as an equestrian instructor, her leadership in horse-assisted coaching, and her commitment to educational project development. She accompanies riders and participants through technical, personal and experiential learning journeys, where horses become partners in transformation.
