It's with happiness that I'm announcing the creation of my dream. I always wanted one day to open my own stable, but before that I wanted to get as much experience as possible. That's why I worked for many years all around the world for the best riders in showjumping.
When I arrived in top level stable , I was really young, coming from an amateur club with no experience in the top sport. I was a young horse teacher who wanted to learn everything possible about horses. I have worn different caskets during those years of learning, and I enjoyed it because with horses you learn every day.
Every stable I have worked for, I always rode, as a flat rider at least, but I wanted to know different aspects as well because I quickly realized that if you want to be in the good sport you need to know much more than just ride. So my first job as a rider (Ph.Rozier, FR), I was watching the grooms (Thanks Angele for the teaching ;)) listening, asking and practicing what they were doing all day between my rides. It gave me solids basics indispensable for my evolution in the futur. I also wanted to see what's like to groom at the show (Ph.Rozier FR, E. Lamaze CA), so I went national and international and I realized the weight you can carry on your shoulders. I never perceive that before, like the stress, the responsibility for the health of your horse , the intensity when your rider is in the ring, and the thinking of after the efforts, what is the best cares to do for the day, and much more. But most important, when you groom your horse you create an incredible deep connexion that serves you a lot when you ride. That's why here and there I offered to do it. After fews years of flatting horses for the top sport, (Ph. Rozier, E.Lamaze, J. Lansink) sometimes grooming, and managing I felt I wanted to learn something different in the industry.
Therefore I decided to go in a huge dealing stable of young horses (P. Schockemöhle). I was in a different field, where learn a lot about young horses training, showing and business. It was like at school everyday, from the morning you get on your first horse to the last, I was learning non-stop. It's where I realized that with work anything is possible, even if you loose faith on your horse, a solution is always somewhere.
After fews year in Germany, building Youngs horses I missed the top sport.
So I went back at it (E. Lamaze), with even more responsibility than ever, by being in charge of the entire program of my horses, dealing with the deadlines, choosing the work who will fit for each horses, the food, working with the vet, blacksmith, osteopath and grooms as a big team.
I will never thanks Eric enough for the trust he gives me for years, without questioning anything just gives me direction to be and get the horses better. It's were I anchor my basics and I let my feelings take place. I travelled a lot, never had a stable life and I didn't really care because what I was leaving was amazing. The sport, the incredible horses, the beautiful shows, stunning stables, and of course an amazing rider.
Until recently when I felt I could settle a bit more down, and try to build something for me. So I left with an heavy heart a dream job to make my dream business coming true. It's after 12 years of giving my life for the sport, that I decided to ty to do it for me.
Life bring me in Mexico City where I have decided to create my little goal by building my own business.
This business will combine all my knowledges, from the different systems I experienced. I will made a point of giving the best services in riding, care and training as possible.
Hope to see you along the way!
This post is a already too long to go in the details of the biggest jobs I had, but I promise , I'll come back and tell you more it.
