Baltica Tour news | Bernardo Costa Cabral

BET Spring Edition is coming at a great speed. We rely on the best professionals and recognized names, as we did last year. Our strategy is simple: no compromise. For that reason, every single day is a time of strenuous work and huge organizational effort made to show a new quality and prevailing world trends to all horse riding lovers in Poland at one time and at one unique place – Ciekocinko Stables.

Our primary goal is a continuous, conscious and consistent increase in the level of Polish horse riding. It is possible only under one condition: we have to rely on the best people in the equestrian industry. So, with great pleasure and pride, we wish to announce that this year the course hosts we are bringing to Ciekocinko are the cream of the crop:

– Louis Konickx – for the second time he is going to ensure the highest level of sport emotions during Baltica Equestrian Tour. He comes from Holland where he is just a brand name and his experience and qualifications (Level 4 Course Host – credentials to design courses for the Olympic Games and FEI Technical Delegate status) are a guarantee of international standards at our courses. His CV includes high level competitions, e.g. CHIO Rotterdam, CSI4* Amsterdam, CSI5* San Patrignano, CSI5* Göteborg Horseshow and World Cup Final Jumping in ‘s-Hertogenbosch!

– Bernardo Costa Cabral – from Portugal, trained by Bob Ellis himself, highly active course designer. Only in 2013 he worked as a course host at over 30 events, 20 of which were held outside of Portugal. Bernardo has designed and built courses in USA, Chile, Mexico, Dubai, Denmark, England, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Canada and naturally in Portugal. His work record includes such competitions as 2012 Olympic Games in London, CSIO3* Lisbon, CSIO5* Hickstead, South Africa Cup in Durban and many, many others.

– Elio Travalgiati – the cream of the crop of the Italian course designers! Elio is qualified as Level 3 Course Host. He builds courses during Toscana Tour in Arezzo or CSI3* Parma on a regular basis. He constructed courses at the most important European events, i.e. 2014 European Championships for Juniors and Young Riders in Arezzo, CSI03* Athens, CSI02* Doha, Drammen Spring Tour or CSIO ChJYR in Madrid.
