Equestrian Michelle Durpetti Launches Lifestyle Blog, MichelleDurpetti.com

Equestrian Michelle Durpetti balances a busy life as an amateur rider and owner, a wedding and event planner, an entrepreneur, a wife, a managing partner of a hospitality group, and more! Now, Durpetti is sharing an inside look at the many facets of her life online at www.MichelleDurpetti.com!

 

“I find so much inspiration, motivation, and beauty in what I get to do, and I wanted to create a place to be able to share that with others as well,” said Durpetti, of Chicago, IL. 

 

“I will be sharing the many layers of my world, how I navigate each of them through entrepreneurship, travel, and personal endeavors, and how I find self-fulfillment and self-identity in the process - most of the time. There are the occasional days where a cupcake and a glass of wine are the way to go too, and believe me, we’ll be talking all about those days too," Durpetti writes on her new website. "This is a place for authenticity, honesty, laughter, goals, dreams, and some safe-space venting.”

 

Durpetti’s new website features sections on all facets of her life including personal topics, her travel, event styling and planning, hospitality, fashion, health and wellness, and, of course, her horses!

 

Durpetti currently rides and trains with Caitlyn Shiels of True North Stables, based in Elgin, IL, and in Ocala, FL, in the winter months, and she competes in amateur-owner hunter and adult jumper divisions aboard her three horses, Cassius, Lucca, and Serafina. 

 

In the equestrian section of Durpetti’s blog, visitors to the website can hear from Durpetti on topics such as what it meant for her to qualify (and do well!) at “indoors,” what it was like to see dreams realized as Shiels rode Durpetti’s Cassius to great success at the United States Hunter Jumper Association (USHJA) International Derby Finals, how Durpetti practices self-care while traveling for horse shows, and much more!

 

For beautiful horse images – often shot by Durpetti’s husband, Collin Pierson of Fine Art Horses – valuable insight and perspective, an inside look at horse show life, heartfelt commentary on what horses mean to Durpetti and equestrians as a whole, and much more, be sure to follow along here!

 

In addition to providing content on her own website, Durpetti is also available as an editorial contributor for equestrian and lifestyle magazines looking for a voice from an amateur competitor and a successful entrepreneur.
