Franco Melpignano, horse trainer

Since he was a child, Franco’s path has been on the saddle: he has always ridden Murgese stallions harnessed in red and silver on Sant'Oronzo feast. His life long passion for horses has led him to the most important horsemanship schools in the world and today he is a well-known horse trainer. Riding Ussaro, his loyal steed, he masters the culture of the "Murgese" horse performing the most difficult exercises, among which a real dance on the frenetic hits of pizzica.
