« The dreamed perfection lies, as much for the talent of the rider as for the horse’s dressage, much less in the execution of what are known as equestrian difficulties, than in the purity of the movements. This purity rests on the rider’s use of the horse’s forces, and on the horse’s use of the only forces useful to the movement envisaged.

2nd edition, and this time it was a summit meeting between Lucien Gruss and Francis Rebel at the CEZ in Rambouillet. Without knowing each other beforehand, a perilous exercise to find oneself in the shoes of dressage judges! Their understanding was immediate and their scores almost equal on all the dressage tests.

Once again a great atmosphere on the jumping challenges led by Francis, and the horses made very good progress during the weekend.

1st edition of our meetings!

For this edition, we had the pleasure to have with us Emilie Haillot and Olivia Juste, who presented us a theoretical part on Saturday morning: Emilie's conference on "attitudes and locomotion" and a zoom on the neck extension, put into practice in the same time by Olivia who presented us the nice work done on Cluain, a Connemara pony.

Francis Rebel was present to animate at the end of the course a beautiful obstacle/derby challenge which took place in the installations of the Haras de Folleville, held by Françoise Fromet, who took care of the dressage riders.
