Vincenzo Chimirri learned to
ride horses at the age of 5 in
Calabria where he trotted and
galloped on the family farm and
riding school. He faced the
first jumps at 7 and at 11 his
first competition. His passion
for horses came through his
father. This passion and a
natural talent have made of him
one of the best current Italian
riders.
His biography tells that at 12
in Siena, at a team show,
competing with his sister and
cousin, he won second place at
the Regions Cup. His big moment
came when he was 16 and the
general Cini called him to
participate in an International
Junior Show. Two famous names of
the Italian equestrian art
helped develop the already clear
skills of the young Vincenzo -
Raimondo D’Inzeo and Mauro
Checcoli.
Chimirri at 18 moved to Rome and
entered the Police academy. He
soon turned to riding
professionally at the Federal
Horse Centre with the sport team
Fiamme Oro (Golden Flames).
He changed teams two more times
- at Remo Speroni’s stables
first, and now at Elio Marioni’s.
The constant commitment he
showed and his never ending work
resulted in numerous successes
in the equestrian world. Some of
his recent victories include the
win at the San Patrignano Grand
Prix in 2004, the silver medal
at the 2005 Italian Championship,
the excellent position at the
Athens Olympic Games - 7th in
the team show and 19th in the
individual final and not to
forget a flagship like the first
Italian victory in the Nation
Cups, at the German edition in
2003.
The challenges await him this
hot summer. Ahead are shows in
Gradisca (UD), Abano Terme (PD),
Vicenza and the World Cup
stopover in Verona.
Chimirri hasn’t yet chosen all
the horses he will compete with
at the Abano CSI***, but one
name is certain - Ascolcantino!
Vincenzo looks forward to the
Abano event, beloved to the
champion, who feels “At home
thanks to the flawless
organization and the hospitality.”
The event in Abano appeals to
the big names in horseback
riding thanks to the friendly
atmosphere one feels here. The
horse grounds at Villa Bassi are
excellent and the only
improvement possibly needed is
modernizing the obstacles!”
