Proudly Announcing Our New Alberto Michan Sponsorship!
Wellington, Fla. – Mar. 24, 2021
Natural Equine Essentials is so excited to have such an amazing rider and mare represent our all Natural Equine Products! What an amazing story! We wish them the best of luck in all their future goals! Go team Israel!
“I hope that in a few years Israel will be a little stone in the shoe of many.”
He was born in Mexico where he rode as an amateur until the highest level, he developed his riding to the top of the sport in Europe, finished fifth individually at the London Olympics in 2012 as an amateur, then became professional and moved to the U.S. where he started his own business. Now his goal is to compete at the Tokyo Olympic Games with Team Israel.
Long story short: the last two decades have been quite an international rollercoaster for top jumper rider Alberto Michan. The 42-year-old rider is known as a very nice guy, blessed with an incredible natural talent for riding horses and jumping big fences. With a very powerful Team Israel he is ready to surprise the world in Tokyo.
Michan talks about his remarkable international journey in our latest Rider Reading. Israelian team coaches and equestrian legends Hans Horn (De Wiemselbach), and Jeroen Dubbeldam (Stal De Sjiem), weigh in as well.
