Elite equestrian media, built by someone who has lived it.
I'm Rick Silvia, former Grand Prix competitor and the youngest owner in history to win the Grand Championship at Dressage at Devon. I trained as a teenager at Germany’s renowned Gestüt Grönwohldhof and spent two decades immersed in elite equestrian sport at the highest levels. I now bring that insider knowledge to the riders and brands who define this world.
I manage the complete digital presence of Olympic bronze medalist Lisa Wilcox, built her website www.LisaWilcoxDressage.com, and recently placed her in a luxury feature for Polo DeMarco Magazine. I also manage the digital presence of Certified Master Saddle Fitter Renee Waters of Connection Saddle Fit, and work with an equestrian product manufacturer on international advertising and media placement. My LinkedIn following of 28,000 equestrians gives every client immediate access to one of the most engaged professional audiences in the sport. Now based on the island of Phuket, I work remotely with clients worldwide.

The Sponsorship Portfolio
This is the same process I use for the Olympic and international athletes I represent: a document that doesn't ask a brand for something, but presents who you are, what you've accomplished, and why the partnership makes sense for both sides.
Every portfolio includes:
A detailed questionnaire and strategy call to capture your genuine story and your real relationship with the brands you're approaching
A professionally written career narrative and introduction, specific to you, never a template
Your Sphere of Influence page: a designed, one-page summary of your full reach across social, web, press, students, and events, formatted the way marketing teams actually want to see it
Your competition calendar, presented as the sponsor-access document it really is
A value proposition written in your voice, with concrete partnership ideas tied to your actual season
Identification of the right decision-maker at each target brand by name, drawn from my network of nearly 30,000 on LinkedIn
Outreach guidance, including a personalized cover letter template and a follow-up plan
Your finished portfolio is delivered as a polished digital document plus a print-ready file. If you want the physical edition for your outreach, and I recommend it, simply email the file to your local print shop and request premium text and photo stock. I'll include a one-page spec sheet so the printer knows exactly what to produce.
$500. Delivered in two weeks. I take on a limited number of these per season so each one gets built properly.
