Last month, Coach Daniella Virata traveled to Kuala Lumpur to coach Raines Gammon at the CSIJ-B Borrowed Horse Competition aboard Kardamiro V. Together, they finished 7th out of 17 pairs after the second day of competition.

Beyond the results, the trip was a great opportunity to reconnect with familiar faces, meet new friends from across the equestrian community, and experience the exciting sport of tent pe***ng for the first time.

Congratulations to EAM - Equestrian Malaysia, KUALA LUMPUR POLO CLUB and all of the participants for a fun National Show.

🎉 Happy Birthday, Coach Diego Virata ! 🍷🍕

From show jumping to serving up California-style pizza, Diego does it all!

A former MPC Junior Show Jumper of the Year (2008) and Show Jumper of the Year (2013), Diego has competed up to 1.20m and represented the Philippines in borrowed-horse competitions across Asia, including the SEA Games in Myanmar.

Today, while coaching at Manila Polo Club, he’s also making his mark in the culinary world as the man behind Diggy’s California-Style Pizza bringing his own creative spin.

Here’s to another year of big goals, exciting adventures, and plenty of reasons to celebrate. We’re grateful for your time and wisdom.🎂

Team Philippines enjoyed an unforgettable evening at the home of Asian Games dressage individual gold medallist, Qabil Ambak, in Rawang.

After a strong week of competition for the sisters Raines Gammon and Skye Gammon, Coach Camila Lastrilla Curto spent her final night with the team as Coach Daniella Virata arrived to take over. The evening was made even more special as nazroff —an old friend of Coach Danni, first met at a borrowed horse competition in 2003—prepared a delicious asado for everyone.

Qabil, Malaysia’s most decorated equestrian, then hosted a tour of his remarkable 3Q Equestrian Centre stables, showcasing ribbons, medals, and memories from his career in both show jumping and dressage, offering a glimpse into the legacy of one of the sport’s greats.

For Coach Danni, the visit was a meaningful return—her first time back since 2017 as SEA Games Team Manager, and a nostalgic reminder of her 2006–2007 Kuala Lumpur World Cup circuit days filled with lasting friendships.

Grateful thanks to Qabil and his family for their warm hospitality and for welcoming Team Philippines so generously. 🇵🇭🇲🇾

Not a bad week’s haul.🏅

Behind every ribbon are early mornings, setbacks overcome, valuable lessons, and memories that will last a lifetime.

Last weekend, Raines Gammon represented Equestrian Association of the Philippines at the Prime Minister’s Cup / CSIJ-B Borrowed Horse Competition held at the KUALA LUMPUR POLO CLUB from July 24–26. Paired with Kandarmiro VD Kersenheuvel Z, a horse she had only a short time to get to know, she finished 7th out of 17 riders on the final day.

She also competed in the EAM - Equestrian Malaysia National Championships aboard the leased horse Galipette Jo, going head-to-head against riders competing on their own horses.

Her results included:
🥈 2nd out of 21 riders in the 0.70m–0.80m category
🥈 2nd out of 17 riders in the 1.00m category
🥉 3rd out of 6 riders in the 1.10m–1.20m category

Together with her sister Skye Gammon and Princess Iman Aryanna Jamalullail of Malaysia, they won the 0.90m Team Competition, finishing ahead of teams that included experienced cavalry men twice their age.

Thank you to Coach Nabil Ismail and horse owner Farinawati Mohd Din for the generosity and support throughout.

Here’s to many more milestones, partnerships, and unforgettable memories. 💙💛❤️

Different riders. Different horses. One arena.

A few moments from the CSI1* Borrowed Horse Competition in Jakarta, where athletes from 13 nations came together to compete under the true spirit of horsemanship.

The borrowed horse format is a unique test of adaptability, feel, and partnership—proving that success isn’t just about the horse you know, but how quickly you can build trust with one you’ve just met.

An unforgettable experience, new friendships, and a celebration of international equestrian sport. 🌍🐴
