ALL THE HORSES I WORK WITH AT THE MOMENT 2011-2012

First of all, obviously my own mare, JUNON DE GRAMONT, Selle-Français (almost english thoroughbred). I produced her from a 6-year-old to now (14-year-old rising 15) and we've reached Intermediate and One Star levels in Eventing, placed evenly.



My new youngster SHIVA, 4-year-old, rising 5 KWPN. I bought him when he was just baked a month ago and I plan to produce him as an eventer. He's learning quickly, has got good paces and a good jump.




BREEZE, 5-year-old, rising 6 ISH. I started schooling her for her owner last year, she was very green, just backed. She's now well established in the flat work, the jumping is improving as well. I ride her a few times a week and I also teach her owner with her.




ROSIE, a very sharp and forward Irish Sport Horse mare, 10 years old. She is a talented horse but quite complicated. 



BOWEN, 15-year-old, rising 16 Trotter/Thoroughbred/Warmblood, he's going back to work after an injury and working well on the flat. I school him a few times a week for his owner.




RED, 7-year-old chestnut Fresian, I started schooling him a month ago for his owner. He's working well on the flat and jumps well too.




MACSENS is a lovely 12-year-old mare, who can be a bit stiff and above the bit. I ride her before teaching her owner with her, that helps to keep her more easily in a proper shape and outline. They have both, horse and rider, improved a lot on the flat and jumping!



DIAMOND , 4-year-old, rising 5, thoroughbred, has raced and is being retrained. I school her and teach her owner with her.




SAHARA, 5-year-old, ISH mare, has been rescued and is being retrained. I school her and teach her owner, they can now do some flat work safely and hacking out happily.




JACK, 3-year-old thoroughbred, I backed him and he's now starting the work with his owner.





PIP, shire crossed fresian pony, 7 years old, who needed being schooled and improve the flat work as he had mainly hacked and hunt until I started working for his owner. He has improved a lot on the flat and his owner also jumps with him now.


SCRUFFY, 4-year-old, rising 5 welsh section C pony, I ride him and teach his owner with him.






And my last two, who were my first two to ride professionnaly in England actually, are KATO, a 12 year-old cob who was very stiff when I started to ride him four years ago and didn't know anything, can now do shouders-in, leg yields, counter canter etc...
BENNIE, a nice 7-year-old cob with a bit more blood than Kato, arrived when he was just broken as a 4-year-old. I produced him and he can do the same as Kato and now jumps as well up to 1 meter. He's now rising 8 years old.
