ENGLISH TEXTS of racing— and I haven’ t looked back since! I’ m passionate about racehorses and I try to ride in the mornings just for the joy of it. How lucky to canter on the Lions track in Chantilly, then discover Gulfstream Park in Miami a few months later, and finally gallop at Meydan in Dubai … It’ s pure bliss!”
Many GRC Club members and license holders have stood out by combining their passion for racing with equine welfare, such as Romain Dubois, a farrier; Sylvain Martin, owner of the“ Seconde Chance” stable; or Morgane Molle, who shines in emerging roles like that of a data analyst.
The GRC Club supports the French Association of Equine Veterinary Students( AVEF Jr) through an initiative led by its president, Lisa Didier, a 4 th-year student at VetAgro Sup and participant in the 2024 edition of the Grandes Écoles Championship. AVEF brings together over 600 equine veterinarians and just as many students aiming to specialize in equine practice. After taking part in the 2024 Championship, Lisa continued training and proposed organizing a discovery morning at the Chazey-sur-Ain training center. This event aims to offer students a concrete immersion into the industry’ s day-to-day and to highlight the challenges of horses’ physical and medical preparation. The GRC Club is proud to support this initiative that combines education, passion, and knowledge sharing!
