Always passionate about horses and supporting others, I've spent my life searching for a way to combine my two passions. I began my career as a riding instructor at the École Militaire in Paris in 1997, then in Le Mans. Driven by competition, I coached a pony rider all the way to the European Championships in 1999 (where I was the best French rider). Seeking to advance my career, I continued my training in Saumur. Earning my BEES 2nd degree (French State-Certified Equestrian Instructor Diploma) in 2000, I spent two years in England with Michel Assouline, an international dressage rider. With an entrepreneurial spirit, I imported the freelance model in 2003 to offer coaching services to riders in Brittany. For several years, I worked in other professional fields such as bereavement support, insurance, and sports. In 2019, I trained in personal development at Lunion Formation and became an instructor for the same school.
A passion for horses and a taste for human connection. Passionate and a natural teacher, I founded Sables d'Or Equitation – Centre Equestre de Bretagne (Sables d'Or Equitation – Brittany Equestrian Center) in 1999. The primary objective was to make Sables d'Or Equitation a center tailored to each individual, with personalized instruction accessible to all. A renowned riding school developed, with generations of medal-winning competition teams. I then expanded the project with the creation of an eco-responsible equestrian tourism center integrated into the dynamic Grand Site Cap d'Erquy Cap Fréhel. An experienced riding instructor, holding the BEES 2nd degree qualification since 2012, I also train other instructors. Keen to embrace new practices in an evolving profession, I became a certified coach and equine-assisted coach from Lunion Formation in 2020 and from Horses and Coaching in 2021.
