Representing two different disciplines, riders Jessica von Bredow-Werndl (dressage) and Karen Polle (show jumping) discuss the art of lightness through a bareback riding exercise. This pas de deux evokes the harmony between the rider’s body and that of her horse.
With Abdelkébir Ouaddar & Victor Lévecque

Abdelkébir Ouaddar, Morocco’s leading Olympic rider, and Victor Lévecque, a young hopeful in French eventing, share their vision of generosity, their keyword in riding, and their greatest asset in competition.

Rodrigo Pessoa, the Brazilian show-jumping legend, and Astier Nicolas, the French double Olympic medallist in eventing, share their lessons in humility.
