Music, Horses’ Wellness

and Equestrian Sports July 2015

The story begins with a

jumping horse rider, her

engineer brother and

a very unpredictable mare!

• Everything starts in 2012, when Marine, a show jumping rider, buys her first mare, a beautiful "Selle Français" named "Roquepine de Genestel".

• Despite the 10-year experience of Marine, Roquepine is unpredictable and even dangerous.

• Whenever, Marine is performing a jumping session, the mare finds a way to eject her.

• Falls after falls, the relationship between the rider and her mare is broken.

Marine & Roquepine circa 2012

• Hugo Kajdas, Marine’s brother, finds studies showing that like humans or other animals, horses are responsive to music: they become less tense with it and even more, they are born dancers!

Faster! Horses performing a

longeing circuit with music

(Neveux / 2013)

• Hugo is an engineer so he figures out an embedded solution using music to handle the mare behavior’s issue.

• The relationship between Marine and Roquepine start again!

• Effective from day one, Hugo’s homemade solution is about to turn into a startup project.
