Between medals, debuts and confirmations, the team returns home filled with pride
It was a weekend rich in emotions and significant results for Fuxiateam, the undisputed protagonist of the three-day competition hosted at the Centro Equestre Federale of Pratoni del Vivaro.
An event that brought to the fore the full spirit of the Italia Endurance Stables & Academy project: the breeding program, the academy, the pony riders, and the team’s top athletes.
From Thursday, September 4 to Saturday, September 6, each category told a different story, contributing to one of the most meaningful chapters of the 2025 competitive season.
The event opened on Thursday with the youth competitions, where the young riders of the Fuxiateam Academy once again proved to be among the most promising names on the Italian endurance scene. Giulia Nocito triumphed in the Trofeo Pony A 3 km riding Sirio, securing a clear and well-deserved victory. Next, Costanza Monetti achieved an excellent second place in the Criterium Pony B 6 km with Chriliso’s Tuschinska, while Vittoria Monetti enriched her already impressive record with a bronze medal in the Italian Championship Pony Élite 9 km on Ringo. Applause also goes to Greta Bigazzi, who finished in the Top 10 of the Italian Championship with Salida. It was a day full of satisfaction, confirming the quality of the daily work carried out with passion and method within the academy.
Friday was dedicated to two of the most awaited categories: the CEI3* Italian National Championship over 160 km and the CEIYJ1* 100 km for young riders. In the Italian Championship, Costanza Laliscia delivered an outstanding bronze medal performance riding Kasimir dell’Orsetta, at the end of a long, selective and technically demanding course, completed at an average speed of 14.830 km/h, with a final loop at 19.587 km/h. A competition of the highest level, managed with experience and courage, confirming the synergy and maturity of a well-established combination. A special thanks goes to Nicolò Trotta, owner of Kasimir, for the trust and support he has consistently shown in the Fuxiateam’s sporting project.
In the same category, Greta Bistoletti had a memorable debut riding Bona Dea Agylla, finishing in fourth place overall. For both rider and horse, it was their first experience over 160 km, making the result even more significant: at only eight years old, Bona Dea is the first product of the Agylla breeding program to complete a CEI3*. A valuable confirmation for the internal breeding project, which is now beginning to bear fruit even over long distances.
Also on Friday, Livia Meneghini dominated the CEIYJ1* 100 km riding Taris di Gallura. A race led from start to finish, completed at an average speed of 14.191 km/h, and crowned with a clear and convincing victory. In addition to the prestigious first place, Livia also secured her qualification for future CEI2* events over 120 km. An excellent result that highlights the continuous growth of the Fuxiateam Academy, capable of training young athletes ready to compete at the highest level, by combining technique and long-term vision.
Saturday concluded the competition weekend with the CEI2* 120 km, where Costanza Laliscia once again stood out, this time riding Cadzya du Barthas. The combination finished in second place overall, but claimed first place in the Italian Criterium. The race was completed at an average speed of 16.313 km/h, with a final loop at 18.848 km/h, testifying to the horse’s consistency and strong finishing capacity. A performance managed with clarity and precision, further confirming the solidity of a combination that has already been a key player throughout the season.
The weekend’s overall outcome is clear: four podium finishes, a CEI3* debut, one qualification earned, and an entire new generation of young riders growing, asserting themselves, and looking to the future with determination. More than anything, however, this weekend represents tangible proof of a project that goes far beyond sporting results. It builds, over time, an identity founded on dedication, method and passion. The Agylla breeding program continues to produce promising horses, the Academy shapes complete athletes, and the team’s top riders confirm their competitiveness at the highest international level.
Fuxiateam returns home with full hearts. Full of medals, yes — but also full of emotion, pride, and gratitude for all those who work behind the scenes each day. Every result achieved is also the fruit of their silent yet indispensable commitment.
