General Interest

General
WELL TRAVELLED
She was born in Paris, France, to a Spanish mother and a French father. She spent her early years in Geneva, Switzerland, where her parents own a yard. As a youth rider she was based in Germany before relocating to the Netherlands, where she trained alongside riders such as Anky van Grunsven, Andreas Helgstrand, Ton de Ridder, and Alex van Silfhout. After eight years in the Netherlands she returned to Geneva in 2018. (eurodressage.com, 27 Nov 2018; marca.es, 13 Mar 2012)

SWITCHING TO FRANCE
She represented Spain earlier in her career, competing at the 2012 Olympic Games in London and the 2014 World Equestrian Games [WEG] in Normandy, France. In 2018 she began riding for France. "I took this decision all by myself, for my own reasons. I speak French and have always felt like a Frenchwoman. I am so excited for this new challenge." (ffe.com, 02 May 2018)
