@@Vanina_Altéa oui c’est bien SQY Equitation

Merci. Il est pas mal compte tenu de son expérience oui ^^

Yes that was a nice ride. I’ve just « pushed » a bit too much between fences 7B and 11 but all the rest was ok

@@StephaneKerner didn't seem to bad from the Gopro view. And sometimes they need a bit of prompting to get in gear

Merci 🤗… encore un peu de boulot mais on a une belle évolution sur le Cross oui.

Yes that was a training with Steeve Partington. Casper only had a couple months of evenings at this time. He was surprised on the first approach. I did not walk with him in the pond on purpose to see how he goes. In my mind we were good as it was the last stride before the dive but that’s were he panicked and took me by surprise. No biggies, that was the game 😆

@@StephaneKerner I guess it wasn't so much the water as such, but the step down into it.

Thanks for your comment. Yes Fontainebleau is very nice to ride. About the water yes Temeraire has a sigth issue on his right eye that has degraded over 2022. Entering and jumping in the water is a problem now. I’ve decided to retire him from xcountry competition. He’s now an « instructor » for riders looking in an expérienced horse a whishing to evolve. He can still do jump competitions or dressage but xcountry is now for training purposes only. He got more confident again with the water but at 17 years old there is no point putting him again in competition.

@@StephaneKerner thank you for this detailed information. I'm very sorry to hear about Temeraire's eye - it sure does explain his reaction. At least he can still be safely ridden and has a 'job' - good for him. I had a horse who was an extremely good eventer. When he was 16 he developed a semi paralysis of the larynx - which meant with each breath he would get half the air he normally would - that was the end of his career. But I did use him, too, as a school horse for years ...

by the way, nice to be talking to you, always nice to 'meet' another eventer. And glad you speak English, as my French is really not great. Hope you have a new horse to bring on. In addition to my now quite experienced horse Cody (13, half Trakehner / half thoroughbred) I bought a young thoroughbred half a year ago. He ran once but was too slow. Now I'm reforming him . He was born in France.

@@666esty Thanks a lot for your comments here 🤗. I did find another horse one year and a half ago: Casper. He’s the one I’m riding on the videos posted since September 2022. He only have a little year of experience in cross country but he’s a very good boy and learner. Hopefully we will start to run some nice events this year 🤞🏻

@@StephaneKerner I'm glad you found another horse - I've since since him in a video, the bay. I wish you all the best with Casper. I love bringing long young horses. Finding a good eventer is not always easy, and it must have been tough not to be able to compete with Temeraire any longer. I know how it is ... In addition to my 13-yo, Cody, I'm also training my youngster, the thoroughbred, ex-racehorse, with the goal to compete him this year at the lowest level.

@@666esty Ce sont des choses qui arrivent parfois 🤷🏼‍♂️

Merci. Il y a encore quelques points techniques a travailler mais on a une bonne base avec ce petit loulou :)

@@StephaneKerner Certe ! Mais tout est fait dans le respect du cheval et de son niveau ! Et ça c’est top ++ Et le parcours reste très propre 🤩
