Athena A. M. Hepburn is a passionate and dedicated dressage rider and trainer with a strong foundation in natural horsemanship, specializing in the Parelli method. She combines behavioral psychology and effective communication techniques to build strong, harmonious relationships with horses.
Athena Hepburn recently distinguished herself on the horsemanship stage by winning the kings cup in the Grand Prix U25 and is the 2025 Madrid champion of Grand Prix. Granddaughter of the iconic Audrey Hepburn, she represents a new generation of equestrians combining sporting excellence, cultural awareness and responsible engagement.
This collaboration aligns fully with FESA’s mission as a Geneva-based international alliance dedicated to protecting, modernising and securing the future of equestrian sport in the face of today’s challenges — including animal welfare, sustainable performance, innovation and societal expectations.
A collaboration focused on the future of the sport
Through this partnership, Athena Hepburn will contribute to initiatives led by FESA around high-performance sport and equine welfare, within a framework of collective action, shared responsibility and long-term vision. She is fluent in English, Spanish, Italian and German.
This collaboration aims to foster a constructive approach grounded in field experience, shared expertise and a responsible vision for the future of equestrian sport.
A shared vision
