profile

Hello ! My name is Elise. Elise Goetinck. I am 27 and I live in Phalempin in the North of France. I started my studies with an advanced technician’s certificate specialized in tourism. At the same time, I was working as a sales assistant for a major retailer in the sports shoes industry. Then I chose to retrain, so I left my job to obtain my ‘BPJEPS’ (Professional Certificate for Youth, Popular Education and Sports) specialized in horse riding. Once I graduated, I went to live and work in Belgium, near Brussels, where I was hired as a rider and a groom for luxury stables. After I eventually came back to the North of France for a contract as a groom, I met Simon Dewavrin, one of the three founders of Horse Pilot. After this meeting, I joined the team and became a Pilot a year ago!

Your role at Horse Pilot

At Horse Pilot, I am a Logistics and Transport Assistant. I am responsible for shipping the orders and their tracking (in France, Europe and major export) but also for imports (merchandise and products for after-sales service). In addition, I am in charge of the warehouse and stock management, the inventory, and the organization and delivery of merchandise as well. I work with Géraldine.

Your relationship to horseback riding

I have been a rider for more than 20 years! It’s a family thing as my father owned an equestrian center when I was younger. I had the chance to have several equine animals, from shetland to horse (that measured more than 1m70 as I am tall!). I took part in numerous competitions including jumping, eventing, dressage and horseball. I obtained several titles in the French championships. Today, I ride for pleasure and only take part in competitions from time to time. Even in later years, I keep great memories of my poney Lolita, that was only 1m35, but that beat every horse on the obstacle course !

Your passion for sport

I love sports in general! At one time, in addition to being a rider, I was also a gymnast and gymnastic coach! Today, I still go running sometimes and I keep going to the gym. I hate being stuck indoors and love being outdoors.

your favorite Horse Pilot outfit

Without any hesitation, my favorite Horse Pilot outfit is the X-Design breeches, for its comfort and support, matching with the Optimax T-shirt to improve my posture and to keep me warm.
