WHY HORSE PILOT?
" I chose Horse Pilot for the technical qualities and the modern look of the products. I really liked the combination of style, modernity and look! "
JULIEN'S FAVORITE
" The down jacket Fahrenheit, a must have to face the winter temperatures. Horse Pilot products are very technical and are a real plus in everyday life, both for training and competition. "
ANY RITUAL?
" In general, I like to work my horses 1 hour before the event to make a small muscular awakening. Then they go back to the stall. I also like to put my left boot on first! "
A MANTRA?
"All action that is not thought is agitation."
ANY OBJECTIVES?
" Today I am qualified for the World Cup Final. I don't know yet with which horse I will run this event but I am lucky to have several good horses. It's going to come down to Donatello, Chana and Dubai who has never competed in a World Cup before. If I have a good feeling about her, she might make her first World Cup in Bordeaux.
Then, this year, there is the European Championship. Even if it is still far away, I would like to be part of the team.
In the longer term, we are trying to work for Paris 2024."
