Cesar Hirsch

César Hirsch was born in Caracas with a passion for horse sport and a knack for business. He graduated in Venezuela with a bachelor’s degree in International Business and attended the Advanced Program in International Business at Northeastern University in Boston, Massachusetts, in 1994.

 

His passion for horses and interest in the equestrian sport led him to compete internationally for ten years, beginning in 1979. 

 

Cesar currently serves as the President of the Pan American Equestrian Confederation, the continental representative organization for the FEI, and is a member of the FEI Social License to Operate Commission.  He is also an FEI Jumping Judge (level 3), FEI Jumping Steward (level 3), FEI Jumping Steward Course Director and Steward General for Venezuela. 

 

During his more than 2 decades serving the FEI he has officiated at hundreds of international events including two Olympic Games (Rio 2016 and Tokyo 2020), 2 World Equestrian Games, 2 World Cup Finals, 6 Pan-American Games, 6 Central American and Caribbean Games, 4 Bolivarian Games and Central American Games, 5 South and North American Championships, CSIO 5* and CSI 5*among others.

 

He also served as Deputy Chairman and Group V Representative of the FEI Nominations Committee (2013-2017) and as Official Technical Ambassador of Just World International.  

 

His skills in communication achieved through years in professional business activities and his affinity for sport led him to television and radio broadcasting. He starred in live broadcasts of the National Football League in two Super Bowls: XXXVI in New Orleans, Louisiana, and XXXVII in San Diego, California. He was the first Venezuelan to broadcast the NFL.

 

César is dedicated to the promotion and development of equestrian sports. To that end, he took a stylish turn with the launch of Equis, LLC and is bringing a touch of international luxury to the North American market through Equis Boutique and its partners.
