Thirty years
Western trainer in Switzerland, then in the US. Reining, trail, cattle work. Fifteen years training hundreds of horses in my own center in La Sarraz. I learned to clear traumas. To rebuild trust. That is where my own horsemanship was born.
Three years on the Northern Cheyenne reservation, Montana. Traditional life, mustangs, underserved youth from Lame Deer. Then Mongolia. The Amazon. Peru. Australia. Kenya. New Zealand. Tunisia. New Caledonia. Always to study or to train. Always to listen.
Markus Fuchs entrusts me with his mare La Toya II. Together we bring her back to the World Cup final. At Zoo Jura Parc in Vallorbe, I tame four wild Przewalski mares. Three months of total immersion. Trust, nothing else. A mission still unique in the world.
EPH barefoot trimmer in Switzerland. Stretcher-masseur. Animal osteopath in Paris. French horsemanship after François Baucher with Joël Laugier and Georges Douillet, in southern France. Four trainings alongside the fieldwork. To understand the whole horse, not just its behavior.
Settled in the Swiss Alps. Still travelling. Three thousand horses worked with. None of them like any other. I keep translating what they say. For the riders ready to listen.
Le voyage dans le monde

Pendant plus de huit ans, j'ai géré les Winchikala Stables, un centre de rééducation de chevaux difficiles. Un lieu avant-gardiste tourné vers la confiance plutôt que la compétition, où les cavaliers montaient sans selle et sans bride.
