Rick Silvia

Former Grand Prix Rider • Equestrian Media Strategist • Digital Branding Specialist

Rick Silvia is a former Grand Prix dressage competitor who brings a unique blend of elite sport experience and modern digital expertise to the equestrian world. His foundation was shaped in Germany, where he trained under Karin Rehbein at the prestigious Gestüt Grönwohldhof, developing a deep understanding of classical horsemanship, discipline, and high-performance training systems.

Transitioning from international sport into media, Rick has become a sought-after strategist for Olympic athletes and leading equestrian brands, helping them elevate their presence through strategic storytelling, personal branding, and digital positioning. His work focuses on translating the depth of the equestrian world into compelling, modern narratives that resonate with today’s global audience.

Rick is also the author of The Digital Nomad Blueprint, where he shares insights on social media growth, digital independence, and content strategy, informed in part by his studies and exposure to business and marketing principles connected to the University of Pennsylvania.

Now based in Southeast Asia, Rick operates at the intersection of equestrian sport, media innovation, and global mobility, offering a forward-thinking perspective on how riders, trainers, and brands can grow their influence beyond the arena.

At Show Chic, Rick Silvia helps equestrians build their digital identity and visibility, guiding you in refining your story, strengthening your content, and leveraging your existing platforms to create meaningful growth, both within the industry and on a global stage.
