profile

 

Hello, my name is Yaëlle, I am 41 and I am Horse Pilot North of France Sales Representative. I live at Bost Stables but I am originally from Thonon Les Bains. I opted for a Commercial diploma in 2 years that I had the chance to do by the Lake Geneva. After I graduated, I worked at LVMH in Geneva (Switzerland), for 10 years. Then my passion for riding and for the equestrian world took over. In 2008, while I was still working, I took part in show jumping every week-end with the 3 horses I owned. This period allowed me to meet a lot of people in this discipline and to be welcomed in the riders’ family. Therefore, I had the opportunity to enter great champions’ most secret backstages.

your relationship to horseback riding

 

The house where I lived when I was a child was located just in front of stables. Therefore, I saw horses every day. I started horseback riding at 6 and I have never stopped since. There are two horses that left a mark on me: Lecosto and Toro.

Lecosto was 3 when I bought him, on my 20th birthday ! We did everything together: from young horses classes to CSI 2**. He is currently enjoying his retirement since last year. Then, there was Toro, with which I won a “6 bars class” at 1m95 and allowed me to be noticed by Michel Robert. This horse is now in the United States.

Today, I still regularly jump with horses.

your passion for sports

 

I like being outside. Fontainebleau’s forest is amazing and I like to do walk there. As soon as I have the opportunity, I take my sneakers and I go there for a walk with my dog.

your favorite horse pilot outfit

 

The Show jumping outfit, white Aerotech jacket and X-Design breeches, because it is sober and chic with a sportive design.

your inspiring quote

 

“There is always a possibility to have better or to go further !”
