As a young instructor, he supported me and trained for a year and a half giving valuable advice, time and your unlimited investment whether it be on foot, on horseback, hands in frozen water or at 5am to go to a competition.

His experience of horses and the training of riders has taught me so much. Whether you are a new rider or a professional, Gilles will help you gain confidence and be the best.
