I have the french "galop 7" which give rider access to competitions from the equivalent of BE90 to CCI*.

I've been riding for 10 years, starting in a pony club once or twice a week. Then i rented a horse for 1 year before buying my own 4 years ago. Besides riding my horse i have been taking care of another 7yo livery horse of my stables for 6 month, the horse had never really worked so i started her on some dressage, jumping and hacking. I was also often taking care and riding the horses of my friends when they couldn't. I've been working in my stables all summer and during the weekends as a groom for 5 years.

I started with showjumping competitions until 1m05/1m10 with pony club horses, a rented horse and my own horse. I also did young horse eventing competitions called "cycle libres" with my 5 years old horse and then we did evening until the equivalent of BE105.
