The internship with Franco Gianni - 5-star Horsemanship

Why Franco Giani?

For his experience with mules. Franco is a true enthusiast: our first contact was quick, warm, encouraging, and perfectly aligned with our vision.

His approach naturally fits with our desire to create a Franco-Italian event, rich in exchange and shared expertise.

Who is Franco Giani?

Franco Giani is a 5-Star Horsemanship, the highest level in the Parelli system – a method that is worth remembering was partly developed through work with mules.

A mature and experienced man, he combines technical expertise with both mule and human pedagogy.His clinics are solidly structured, with nothing left to chance, even to the point of coming with his own translator, in order to guarantee perfect understanding and avoid any translation errors.
