    WHAT IS UMANITY?

    The UMANITY project embodies a vision of horsemanship that I have held for some time.

    This vision is built upon a comprehensive and compassionate approach to riding, encompassing the necessary technical, physical, and mental aspects of the sport. This approach aims to improve the competitive performance of riders and their horses, while enhancing their respective well-being.

    UMANITY is a fusion of the words “UMA” (the Japanese word for “horse”) and “HUMAN” and symbolizes the unique partnership between the horse and rider. This exceptional bond cannot be created in a positive way without a deep sense of humanity.

    My Partners

    I met Camille about a year ago, and since then, I eagerly look forward to every lesson with her. Through her dynamic approach, attitude, ongoing training, and her experience in all three disciplines, she brings me so much —whether it’s advice for myself or my horse, or proposing different exercises, she has given me new motivation and fresh perspectives.  And she does all of this with an open mind, a desire to move forward, a deep respect for the horse, a confidence boost, and a friendly manner, always doing her best to make things easier for us

    Riding is a whole, and teaching this discipline requires professionalism and humanism for both the horse and rider. With Camille, Lisa found a gentle guide to help her find solutions to improve her riding technique and her relationship with her horse. Watching from the edge of the arena, I witnessed a wonderful improvement in both Lisa and her horse. Camille’s patience, attentiveness and ability to adapt to the horse/rider pair, without putting them under unecessary pressure but with clear guidance and support, ensure a continued and positive progression. Self-confidence, technique, physical and mental balance, she discreetly seeks to harmonize the rider/horse partnership without rushing them.

    For more than two years, Camille has accompanied us with remarkable consistency and dedication. Her thoughtful approach to horses reflects her desire to truly understand them and create a harmonious symbiosis when riding. Camille knows how to strike that delicate balance between the rider’s skills and those of the horse, demonstrating her ability to adapt to a situation. What sets Camille apart is her ability to truly listen. She pays close attention to the rider’s wishes and preferences, ensuring that each session is in line with his or her expectations. Her skill and passion for her work are reflected in the results and the serenity of her approach.

    I started taking lessons with Camille a little over a year ago, initially focusing on show jumping, but Camille quickly became my primary instructor, guiding me in all three disciplines (Dressage, Jumping, Cross-Country). From the very first lesson, Camille was able to understand my mare’s not-so-simple way of going, and I was immediately hooked by her gentle, instructive methods.
    As well as being a sports coach, she’s also a mental coach, which helps me a great deal in developing my relationship with my mare, especially in jumping and cross-country riding. Camille is very approachable and takes thew time to get to know her pupils and their mounts, so with each session, my mare and I move in the right direction and the lessons are always positive. For a year now, my mare has been living at Camille’s yard where she offers a perfect lifestyle to her top-level horses. This fits exactly with the lifestyle I want for my horse. I can trust her 100% when it comes to handling, caring for and ensuring the well-being of my horse, who has in fact been transformed! I’m more than satisfied with Camille’s teaching, which in addition to her practical advice approach provides me with effective mental coaching that even helps me in everyday life. In conclusion, if I could, I would take a class every time I ride!”
