🇵🇭 RIDER SELECTION ANNOUNCEMENT🇵🇭

The Equestrian Association of the Philippines is pleased to announce the selection of Daniella Virata to represent the Philippines at the AEF Mantena Cup CSI1* in Indonesia from 26–28 June 2026.

From growing up surrounded by horses to becoming an accomplished trainer, instructor, and equine-assisted learning practitioner, Danni’s journey has been defined by dedication, hard work, and a genuine love for horses. With years of experience in coaching, horse management, and rider development, she has dedicated her career to helping both horses and riders reach full potential through a thoughtful, welfare-focused approach to training and education.

We congratulate Danni on this achievement and wish her every success as she proudly represents the Philippines on the international stage.

Good luck, Danni! 🇵🇭🐎

Congratulations to Amalia Aboitiz for proudly representing the Philippines at the prestigious CSIJ-B KRA Cup in Seoul, South Korea last April 30-May 3, 2026.

Competing aboard her borrowed horse, Yeongung Gunma, Amalia faced a highly competitive field of 29 talented riders from Korea and across the Asia-Pacific region. Borrowed horse competitions demand not only technical skill, but also adaptability, horsemanship, and courage, all in a very short amount of time.

Making this experience more special were her two coaches- Mom, Nikki Aboitiz, and aunt and main coach, Janine Felix. This made this competition a true family affair, built on passion, support, and dedication to the sport.

Every international experience is an important step forward in an athlete’s journey, and we are proud of Amalia for taking on this challenge with determination.

Thank you for representing Philippine equestrian sport! We look forward to seeing your continued growth and future successes. 🇵🇭
