Grand Prix dressage rider Silvia Rizzo is an Italian equestrian, entrepreneur, model, actress, and founder of Hof Marabunta, her private performance yard in Germany. Her career brings together elite equestrian sport, entrepreneurship, fashion, motorsport, entertainment, and leadership.
Born in Italy, Silvia built her career in the demanding world of dressage and went on to compete at Grand Prix level. Her experience as a Grand Prix dressage rider has included working with Olympians and developing the discipline, focus, and resilience required to succeed in elite equestrian sport.
Her ambitions, however, have never been limited to the arena. Silvia has developed a diverse professional career spanning entrepreneurship, modeling, acting, fashion, and motorsport.

These partnerships have helped her bridge the worlds of equestrian sport, lifestyle, performance, business, and fashion.
