Start:

Reason:

She was always interested in animals as a child and she developed a passion for the sport despite there being no equestrian tradition in her family.

NEW START
In February 2018 she ended her collaboration with the Haras de Clarbec stables, which meant she lost the ride on Flora de Mariposa, the horse with which she won team gold at the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro. She has since started working with a younger group of horses and hopes to compete at the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo. "I had to start from scratch, reforming young horses. I felt like a teenager who has everything to learn. But the future looks good." (olympic.org, 26 Jun 2020; leparisien.fr, 05 Jul 2019; contre-galop.com, 20 Feb 2018)

BUSINESS OWNER
She runs 'penelope-store.com', a website that sells equestrian clothing. (penelope-store.com, 01 Jan 2021)
