Sandra Mesrine

Horse rider , Trainer and Teacher level 2:

Specializing in French classic riding school, I am mainly working young horses, retraining horses with behavioral problems or physical problems after injuries.
Most of my work is accomplished throught lunging, hand work, flat work, dressage and jumping, But I am also bringing horses to physical and mental conditions for eventing.

I strongly believe in patience, trust, lightness and tact.

My main trainers and sources of inspiration in horse riding have been Andre Mull, Colonel Carde, Michel Henriquet,Jean d'Orgeix.
