Like many riders Bernadette has been passionate about horses all her life. She became a riding instructor when she was 22 at a dressage stables in Dusseldorf, before coming back to France. She started her competitive career in show jumping and participated in numerous international competitions until 2007 with, among others, Amour du Vicomte and Call me Future.
In February 2006 Bernadette created the Domaine Equestre des Grands Pins offering high quality equestrian infrastructures in a natural environment, far from the madding crowd. She successfully migrated from show jumping to dressage in 2008 with the help of some of the best dressage riders : Anky Von Grunsven, Jan Bemelmans, Ulf Möller and currently Udo Lange. Since then she has won and been placed in many national and international competitions.
Always looking for a new challenge, in October 2012 Bernadette launched EQUIVIDA Horse Balance, a brand of natural horse cosmetics. This range of care products has been specifically conceived for the health and beauty of all horses. Each product works in harmony with the natural regulation mechanisms of the skin, coat and hooves and the range is preservative, silicone and paraffin free.
