Some words on my professional background :

I obtained the Monitor’s certificate in 1981 and the Instructor’s certificate in 1999.

I benefitted from numerous training courses from

• Marc Bertran de Balanda for obstacle (jumping) courses
• Jean-Luc Force for all-round (complete) courses
• and Philippe Limousin for dressage.

***

I created and developed a horseriding center at the foot of the Montagne Noir (La Cavale de Saint Félix) during more than fifteen years. During this very enriching period, numerous beginners began their horseriding career, and some revealed themselves in competition :

• Championship of France in Cours Complet d’Equitation, CCE, at Tartars,
• Championship’s League in CSO, 4th and 3rd category,
• Championship of France in dressage 5th category, and in numerous regional competitions.

As a Regional Training Technical Delegate (D.T.R.), and a jury member of Monitoring of trial options, I trained, with success, more than thirty monitors in their different disciplines (options).
I was, equally, trainer of Jumping to horsemen and women in Lebanon for more than a year, having, as an objective, to optimise horses’ and horseriders’ performances and, in the background, participation at the Pan Arab Games, that took place in Syria. A significant human and horseriding esperience !

At the associative level, I was vice-president of the Languedoc-Roussillon Horseriding Sports League. This enabled me to participate at regional sports politics.

Empathy and mutual confidence determines a serene communication between the student and the teacher. A first session, with no obligations, allows both parties to freely appreciate the meaning of this idea.
