Management
French
Originally from Alsace, I discovered horseback riding at the age of six thanks to a friend. It was the beginning of a beautiful love affair with horses. After moving to Erquy, I joined the Les Cognets Equestrian Center, where I started helping out and giving my first lessons. These enriching experiences allowed me to participate in numerous competitions, culminating in the French Championships. After a brief career as an accountant, I decided to return to my true passion. By validating my ethological knowledge, my ATE (Equestrian Tourism Instructor) certification, and my BPJEPS (Professional Certificate in Youth, Popular Education and Sport), I followed my calling to become an instructor. Today, I share my knowledge and passion with kindness and care, whether through clinics or trail rides.
