ABOUT OUR TRAINING

Benchmark Equestrian trainer Steve Di Carlo specializes in showing and training hunters and jumpers located in southwest Florida. 

Whether the client is interested in schooling at home or showing on the circuit, he successfully brings out each horse and rider's full potential. By limiting his clientele to a manageable number he makes sure that each horse and rider benefit from his individual attention and skill. 

Steve's talent, combined with great integrity, focus, and hard work, forms the foundation on which Benchmark Equestrian is built. 



Competing across the United States in both the hunters and jumpers, trainer Steve Di Carlo is a top rider with a winning record from Green Hunters to Grand Prix competition. He trains horses and riders in southwest Florida and shows in the nation's best venues including the Winter Equestrian Festival in Wellington, Florida each season. 

Steve combines hunt seat equitation and natural horsemanship methods to consistently yield profound and lasting results for both horse and rider. Hunter seat equitation is a method steeped in tradition and is currently the standard of excellence in the hunter/jumper world. Natural horsemanship is as old as the relationship between horse and man, but has resurfaced in recent years and is considered by many to be the ultimate in creating a strong and lasting relationship with a horse. Both methods, however different as they may seem, are based on similar concepts which allow a harmonious partnership without the use of force, intimidation, or mechanics to teach the horse and rider 
to work as one. 

With these training techniques, Steve has successfully started countless young horses and sold them to several National and International riders who have continued their successful careers in the show ring. Di Carlo's attention to detail  and upbeat and positive teaching style, has a way of bringing out the best performance in horse and rider. Students of all levels have 
benefited from his instruction.
