a lot of time and the organizer for me, the need to stay Fokus
on the sports, the need to stay Fokus with us on so and the
rider so the stevers and or this back office you need to avalot

listeners can benefit from you experience.
What does a stable manager xli do at in fei event walk us for a

problem there changes bit we'en day one and day five or six.
Ja, so we have defenance tap for it's show debant it's liborouya
for the on pgm for it's to years before it's start to what on the
show for regular one for the first year.
It's one a one year before i have to it to what rimones when
it's theshow.com back all the years is you're termin years of
the years so. To the first tape, it's we walk
on plan, we've DOC for luke. We're out this tivers what he's
the best flue for the trucks for the OS and for all the rest.
E fay of the guy you can for the kitchen you the morning in the
tivers i'll have because we'll just one right for me's not
passivities to don't was for a rebody so we we think or this
point and rewalk on the plan. When we find a good options, we
can go in the details check rich kind of stewards, which kind of
beading exit taxia all we need in the steward we kind of for
extangized for extampel just one small extampel if you use apoda
extangizer in the steward is not good for the allsies.
Because the blog the has because it's not the sam size.
What you're man han hols is so we know to be get for that all
this ditored because if you have an it to will to ditored is not
to ditored. Yes.
So we can all this plan, all this plan and right to do the
best like that when you see can start to work for ongana is the
show if all in the hand for ongana is for the best.
So you're insuring. Already mons before the true
that you have a beneficial atmosphere for the horses and
you and true bio, security, comfort and all the things
already mons in front of the short.
Exacty we need to keep in mine all the was of the ACI because
it's one really import on points.
We need to for a dame and. We need to find all time the
good balance, but all the decision of for the assis first.
If we keep dispon in mine every offsment that we have everywhere
for different label of the the show everybody and just on you
and you can explane your decision.
Of Cross, so what Kind of Team to usely work was End.
How do you're coordinate coordinate everyone?
The team it's for the importance if you have you a good team, you
can manage actually me. We manage for so perwick is the
maximum that we can all when i we need to have all time people
we know the alsays we need to have people we have the driving
i songs for the truck because win you do park.
A lot of trucks if you have a 3 your trucks you can't on the
stone you kind of explane. So you're some times have the
arriving people to park. The truck and when you're rib
and you're the new company CMT we see all time we have a lot of
face with the reality it, and we we have never in off, so it for
the sweet on when you to have under control OT spons and fall
that for. For me the best Profil, it's all
grams. We're work like grams, they're a
lot of when you this he a lot of process that right the truck all
night and right in the little morning at the show, so the no
exacting what i will client because i will client of the
grams not the rider you can and the stand what the want and you
can't an positive Sir all Times. And Lanka as it just before if
or the sing that we've in all mined for the as is if we would
be abrufed. And what out the biggest
logistical logistical chenges and managing managing stables
for international competitions. We have different kind of show
and we have different kind of folk.
If you're going, i is the olympic games we all a keep
because we work for tokyo and rio or the waging and alling.
This kind of show you're a lot of pipolo can LPU you're a lot
of cash flow so you can do the best before for them, but for
this kind of show, the detals are really really importance,
it's the mode importance show the year of the two years, the
waging, the the olympic games. And the pressure, it's so
sodificult for my kind of job because you need to be fokus on
all the point in the sam moment, we need to controll all the
point you see what i mean and. That's that's make a small
example. We are the boxes coming from.
We're like he because in tokyo and he it's permanance tibus.
We will do this tibus for the events.
Ok, but so we're two like hear or regular when you're traveling
when you have one hundred two shows a you don't have exclusive
the permanance stables. For show, not for show, not is
what's. I want to explain because for
the on and big and the big as show you have a lot of castle so
you can't build permanance tibus and for a tristar show regular
five stars we provite. Stabors and we end the
organizer, but we don't p of cos that you're.
Organized. That we end them of cos we get
in the plan and we see you can shoes and you're going to it
this this all this provider. And you have contact to this
providers that you have for sure in nav boxes and that they're
client and this of in the ok. To be calful and have to have
the show like the GCT in there me the of the CT.
And is not the sam apoge as for the sam result of course, but
when we and the medal of paris home stokal london it's
completely different in avange for exampir we're the lot of
space, so is not sodificate, but we're in the you and the medal
of the city. Is not this is just in a posh.
Ok, how do you in sure horses wellfare and bio security when
the horses from all of theword.com together.
That the mors important when we walk on one show, we have just
tible manager team bet we walk we the lot of people we walk, we
just cward we the vit and if we don't fork all to get it in the
samway is not rocky. So we need to push for the asses
in the samway. We're all the people we're walk
for the arivos and for the asses for me.
This ponties will the import and i don't know home and is ports
we're that it's kids triansport we're we're five that for
threandred asses i never see file doctor for threandred it so
we need to work all in the samway and just for give you one
on to we develop one up we have one on up.
But everybody need to go in the samuy in everybody need to play
was this up so we give tools to the groms like that they can
book as lot for the i wills for is amperar we see i want for is
amperar five trucks all the forty five minutes in arrange
for is amperar we have a booking for a trucks all the forty five
minutes because when we see that and you have to is the
experience. So i can't see for my point of
you II I've found you way very professional and benificial for
all the included and involved parties and we were geting and
contact already if you days bevor the show start, so we we
new you and me we new exackle what was the plan and this is
something that II. I appreciated a lot.
I think it is not all ways hundred prozent the case, but
this you're way of professionalism is is verry
we're appreciated and very good can you share a memorable
situation, we're something unexpectant unexpected happend
and how you and you to team solved.
We have a lot of points. Two times you know to with a
changing dismant und so i if you show i have a big when last here
in so so friends i have a one with a twenty centimeters of
world in the stibus for example, and we know to find the good
solitions quickly for the orseas of course four years for a bean
balanceia when we walk with the french cadidation when we have a
big kiss of frido and the lot of forseas.
You're problem and have to we are really good souvenir.
So it's all about connection talking to the people and
finding a quick sufficient solution.
We need to if we have the respekt of the people and if we
want to the people follow our decision.
We need to take one decisions when we take this decision.
We neveno if it's a good one on not.
Ok so some words about hors and rider experience what measures
to you take to measure horses a comftable and stress free the
events. We see them.
No money if the OC apply or or request, it's ok.
So the OC as a Organisation commenty just as a quick hind in
between. Have to we need to adapter all
save all times and find of the solutions and we're completely
open of is a gomes. It's not it's just not one way
for the communications. We think the information and
we've information to them. And for all the room, the five
thousand home because we have a lot of show a like that the
can't coming complens, but he's not a complens you.
See it's a tritic to and bruf. Exacty and if if he would be all
the people to walking this to go them the ride, the vit walk like
that for me is so EC because we can adapt and tak to good we are
times he is not one street line a wajaba.
We want to's animore. Ok, so do riders maybe not but
grums have specific requests and how do you balance them was your
standard is rud. We're going to be this t wat to
get and this t wat a air for control the wellfare of the OC
and the rules of the FI. We're air for find to bets for
if we're but you're time really to beat bodaline, but we're and
the was but we're here for the all sees and it's it's animers
so fue time one all sees so quaied and we don't and us don't
why i can't complatee quasing in two minutes we have abody knows,
but we do find we know to final option for that.
So one small communication and stress free decision making in a
team. Or Stress resistent exactly is a
good walk because for time we have a lot of strice, but nobody
need to see that's. Yes, Yes II recup nice this it's
quite go at was visible and and detectible that you are.
Controlling this stresslevel and that you're balancing this very
nicely and the way of you're pulitness for communication.
Alway stateand.com I'm in lot of Respekt for this.
I like that's it behind the scenes at and evi fi event
what's something that public or even riders might not realice
about the work that goes in to stable management.
We don't have in is cool for that's.
For in my company when i trend oneguide just a rive and it
trigearsto.com as tibet manager for tristals so I'm a tibet
manager for all on pixing for me to minimum five sixears just.
To have an off experience for truble shooting.
And to benefit from the connections or what the we're.
Ok, and it's one guy, we know the as he's before you rive.
Yes of Cross. It's not one guy and we will see
one house, one truck, so it's a really difficult jobber because
yabber lot of pressure the pressure to sports because we
make a big sports and it's not is gut on not gut, it's not my
me. It's not news the position for
that we have money and money and money and more money so for me,
it's a benefit because if we are have money in i wasport the
people we want intersport kind of you benefit.
Are they're any special concerations depending on the
disziplin meaning, are you haveing any?
Do you're recognized differences between drursage a jumping and
eventing. Yes, we have we have a judy
pharance AT 7 persont i shipos we walk for the the jumping.
And it's the main differences of course more horses at any event.
It's for this for us. We have two eventing.
Show fue dritter show and like as you to you for the disiping,
but it's not so match and you the jumping we have a lot of
horses lot of time so medium sights it's three hundred Fifty
orses the big gest event, it's two hundred twenty orses, but we
have a lot of show we seven and red orses so for show for this
kind of show the need professional.
So what i the biggest shows that you.
Organas biggest show live all home and you're see so but the
biggest show. For biggest a for level and the
mount of forses. The biggest one of the of of
sees it's a lot of the fany in five six years before it's 3000
five hundred of season. Because we have a lot of
potation we have one aria for the international one aria for
the show horses one aria for the national orses so this one.
It's a really big logistic and up to the biggest event for the
sport. It's all an pick or the wake.
Ok and how do you work? Usely was the vets and the
Steward. We do it's for the important.
It's for the important to have a really good communication.
Open have a mine leason the peopolo because everybody is the
finds everybody no the alls so good, so we need to leason them
for find a base for for everybody.
So that's look at the beforewill.com to the end.
That's look a lot of for what how as stable management
changeed at the top level events of the post years and you think
how it will change. Yay, a lot of modification, a
lot of changes what i can't see two years fifteen years bevor it
the organizer one guy in the office will make just table plan
for example, and the makeing just table a good volunteers,
we'll speak little with english and give in the plan and said
just supply it the goons one to. By shiving so some single that
the go to the office of the ticket and the combat to
destibles actually we change or the organisations destibles a
independant destible manager take the request of the grunsing
direkt destible Manager mc destible plan and at ander is
controll or the financial part of destibles.
Do you see any new technologies or practices emerging that will
make stable management more afficient on or hose frently or
customer frently. Exactly yes for the customer
that for the hose. Yes.
Was? My position we develop one up
for out ordinformation indirekt. The people can book for the
iwards the can book a slot for the the lounge for you, don't
will and or this development. It's for them this tible manager
when we start the iwards you have one truck or right with the
all see and if to what he booked you can have twenty truck in the
sam moments this line of witting of the Trucks don't chance a job
of this tible manager. But for the assis we need to do
the best for them and all the good grum and the stuntispoint
so the book is lot and then a wendar rife the hose is don't to
it so long time in the tricks is the sam for the lounge if you
book before you're ridio slot is and to you can lounge and you
don't to it twenty minute what i we're in front of the gates.
So planning is easier and reliability is improved.
Exacking and we have a lot of for quest because all do all see
that it for all. If you time two all see's need
Air fue time fue all see's need more space in the tibors so we
need to take all the request and apply the request in the tibor
for them and. What avise what you get to some
one will one to get involved in the Investition Event Management
word. Maybe contact you.
I don't know I don't know just before you in it to know that to
what job it's like i see in the beginning, it's a passion,
passion job so he if you want to walk at a ross birdayon.com we
stop the morning wend the show is school at seven, but no mal
it's fy thirty and we stop but them thirty eliven.
If if the show if the show allows this because the stable
opening times of fusure the times what at lease the working
times of the stable Management. Exacture, it's at.
Lease Sex to Eleven o'clock in the night.
We're penderstable ja, and this timing because we have a was for
you to of the haulsees of of light of person and blablabla
the rings hevern aber so rum. We're play that but he's you can
contact me of course or they can go in the show that they're on
your them and as them is there on alp for me.
If you start like a volunteers on one show, big show, you can
see what he's the job probable, you can't fall and the stand but
you can't in a jine it's kind of job we have it's for the
interesting job because we have in charge you all see.
We have a lot of contact is differentpeople.com from
everywhere in avange. For example, we have fifteen
shipos different county, we're a bit no Problem.
We're the ten different teams for the nation's cup.
So you see differentpeople.com from everywhere, so is not the
them logic. Is not the sam.
Mentality. Exactive tax that it's for the
interesting because we are not close in a wasward.
World so you're can're this not a not to like corses you have to
like people. Also was you a and drubble.
Of course of course, i was job, it's like a grum in the hotel.
We have a lot of for quest. Patrick do you know Taxi, we i
can't find a uber, do you not is restaurants can i.
Can you find green for my horses because in my truck and i don't
aden off and it the vet for this punkt, so we need to at them or
times when the people or ryg on the show, the orsees on the
groom, the first people is that the sin it's the table manager
if it's all on the controll or lux all on the controll, the
people supples at the show is good and if when the truck and
the hose is a ry and it's. But organizations that's you pos
that all the show is like that so i'm a point, it's what the
enport on for that, and if you have a request and we can't give
a good and so but i be two time we can't, but if you can acting
at the and it's positive positive for really.
What is you're favorite event in the moment that stands out in
you're korea so far i mining not maybe on any year, but in
general, which was is or was the favorite event that you like.
It's for it is if you go to give you good and so because or a
clayans and that's the in door show how door show.
You have one disziplin show just for jumping for some pearl.
We have Multi Disziplin show, so it for this for them for me, i
trice to do the best for all the show if i see i prave for this
one in my mine i see i this one is that so good so i don't one
to to do you can this way for can i one to do the best for all
the show for the assist for all the show.
So, i don't one to say one, we're not in my life off.
I think to go to this one i them is not the best one i don't like
that so i don't one to this one in my line for me all it's my
job for so we you going italy the for this really perfect you
go in to it sell on all the people or a so que it and
sympathic you're need to see all time the positive pontive we
are. So we were exchanging a little
and you were explaining home much traveling.
Is implicated in you're job, i mean you're traveling around the
word, so the passion for the host for the show was
understandable, but you have to invest so what this how do
you're keep you're passion for doing this have you're any kind
of your sepp what you're doing behind.
No, no Love love the joble of the host is it's what you're
