Beyond the Finish Line

"Beyond the Finish Line" is more than a documentary about Endurance, it’s a journey into the essence of human and animal connection. Filmed during the Zigulì FEI Endurance European Championship 2025, in the heart of Italy, it tells the story of endurance as it truly is: not a race against others, but a race with someone, the horse.

Set among the waters of Lake Trasimeno and the hills of Umbria, the film captures the quiet beauty and emotional intensity of a discipline built on listening, trust, and respect.
Through the authentic voices of riders, veterinarians, officials, organisers, and federation members, the documentary reveals what truly lies beyond results and rankings: the silent dialogue between man and horse, the value of care, and the deep emotions that define this discipline. Because Endurance is not only a test of speed and stamina, it is a test of ethics, empathy, and connection. It’s a world where veterinarians are the guardians of fairness, where every decision is made in the name of the horse’s welfare, and where every finish line is a shared triumph.

“Because in the end, you don’t win against someone. You win with someone. And when you cross the finish line together, what remains isn’t just victory, what remains is a story to tell"
