23 Quarter Horses

As a child, I must have been no more than 6 or 7 years old, I remember precisely that every time I passed a shop near my home that sold postcards of animals, I stopped punctually to see if any new images of horses were on display. My curiosity and instinctive attraction for this splendid animal has grown steadily over the years, with a first fundamental goal, when I managed to realize the great desire to buy my first horse. About 25 years have passed since then and my love for this world, truly unique and fascinating, is more and more alive, thanks also to the great satisfactions collected in the competitions, but above all since I managed to build myself and create my own farm.

I chose to call it 23 Quarter Horses, because the number 23 has always been my lucky number, so it came naturally to me to use it in this exciting adventure. The stable is based in Cascina Zucca, in the territory of the municipality of Incisa Scapaccino, in the province of Asti, which was so baptized by the previous owner of the estate, the famous and unforgotten cycling "Campionissimo" Fausto Coppi, who used to go there in moments free to exercise his passion for hunting.

"Lo Zucca" as we call it familiarly, as we do with an old friend, is the ideal and most suitable place to breed and train horses. Thanks to the 200 hectares of property and existing facilities, I had no problems finding the best and largest location for paddocks, boxes, indoor and outdoor arenas, in addition to all other needs related to professional training of horses.

I consider my stable a very special place, as I was fascinated by it from the first day I visited the spaces that currently host it, but I will be happy to present it directly to all fans. This is why I am waiting for you all to visit together and illustrate this reality in detail, immersed in the greenery and tranquility of the Monferrato countryside and convenient to reach both from Alessandria and Asti via motorway

(Asti Est or Alessandria Sud exits).

Soon.
