“Bosty” as everyone calls him is with no doubt the most appreciated rider of the circuit. For 30 years, this discrete and authentic man cumulates titles and victories. In 1990 he won team Gold at the World Championships in Stockholm, then team Silver in 1994 and 1998, he is the only French rider to have won three times the Nations Cup in Aachen and in 2013 he became the European Champion, not touching a single fence with his incredible mare Myrtille Paulois. Bosty is a true horseman, loving his horses more than anything, and a real fighter, always trying to stay on top of the sport. People not only love his unique riding style but also his kindness. Bosty is much more than a rider, everywhere he goes, he is welcomed as a hero. In 2014, despite a difficult year with Myrtille's injuries and horseswho retire themselve, he won 26 international classes including the GP World Cup with in Lyon with Qoud'Coeur the Loge after the farewell ceremony of  Myrtille Paulois. 2015 marks a year of transition for the French rider as he trains some of his young horses and prepares them to compete in the five stars classes. In 2016, we can say that Bosty owns an amazing stable again. Qoud'Coeur de la Loge won the LGCT Grand Prix of Mexico, Pégase du Murier brought him many international rankings and victories, and Sydney Une Prince gave him the title he was waiting for: team olympic champion.
