In 2024, success was not just a word but a reality lived every day, step by step, horse by horse: Ducati, Mini, and Orfeo.
Grand Prix, PSG, Young Horse shows: placements, victories, improving scores.
It wasn’t an easy journey, but every day was an opportunity to improve, refine, and evolve.
I realized that the true secret behind every triumph lies in competing with myself, day after day.
2024 was a year full of successes—but not successes measured only by victories and placements.
My success was built on consistency, trust, and mutual respect, not only between myself and my work but, above all, between myself and my horses. These magnificent animals are not just companions; they are a reflection of me. Every step I take with them is a step toward the best version of myself, and vice versa. Because improvement is never one-directional: when I improve, they improve too. And vice versa.
My path has been built on three fundamental pillars:
- improving myself,
- improving my work with my horses,
- and always seeking greater harmony with them.
These three points intertwine, complement, and strengthen each other. There’s no way to improve one without the others.
Every time I raised my level, I saw my horses respond with the same intensity. Every time I worked on myself, I saw their eyes shine with an understanding I had never known before. And every time I sought the highest level of connection with them, I felt my work and personal growth reach a new dimension.
The beauty of working with them lies precisely in mutual listening, in the ability to tune in to each other and learn together.
Every success I achieved this year was a reflection of that deep connection I sought to build day after day. And there’s nothing more rewarding than seeing a horse that knows it can trust you completely, just as I can trust myself completely. Because the true secret was never about beating someone else, but about surpassing my own limits, overcoming my doubts and insecurities, and always finding new ways to grow.
So yes, the secret of my successful 2024 is simple:
I am my only competition.
Every day, I compare myself to who I was yesterday, and I always try to do better. I don’t need to look at others because I know my path is unique and that every step I take brings me closer to the best version of myself.
And so, with a heart full of gratitude for everything I’ve learned and achieved, I’m ready to face 2025. Because I know that even though the journey is never easy, every step I take will always be better than the last.
And that is the true success.
Love ,
