Diane Riggaz

"Diane, 40 years old, I am a horsewoman, instructor, and breeder in Vaucluse (84). Since my childhood, my passion for horses has never left me. I began riding ponies at the age of 4 in a leisure-oriented club. Despite some breaks, I resumed riding during my agricultural high school years, with the dream of making this passion my profession.

In 2012, I took the step of buying my first broodmare to start my Hanoverian horse breeding. I also completed training to become a riding instructor, initially intending to manage a riding school. However, after finishing my training, I decided to create my own stable for owners in 2015, alongside my breeding activity. Despite the challenges faced, especially the difficulties of breeding, I persevered in my passion.

In 2022, I took a break by renting out my stable to focus more on my own horses and my career as a rider. I also entrusted my aging broodmares and plan to return to breeding later. Currently, I compete in the Amateur Elite and Pro 2 circuits, hoping to present my young horses in the SHF circuit this year."
