Olympia - Jean Francois Pignon - did anyone see him last night?

[LJ77]

Hi all, i was lucky enough to go to Olympia last night and see my hero, Totilas. However did anyone see Jean Francois Pignon? I have only seen him when he does the standing bare back riding on those gorgeous grey horses. Last night he had 6 ponies in the ring with him and the control he had over them was just incredible. they were lying down on command, cantering round in perfect circles together, then changing rein, moving backwards.... too much to describe but i was well impressed with his horsemanship. anyone else see it??

No didnt see him but Totilas was amazing!!!!

 

[Daffodil]

Yes, I did! I don't know how he does it, where do you begin with that sort of training. Absolutely amazing

I saw him and thought it was great! Especially liked the bit where they rested their heads on the next horses neck and looked at the audience. And the little shetland galloping in when called.

Ive seen him at an summer show, in the rein, I'd seen him before just doing the bareback jumping and thought it would just be that, as you say, but I couldnt believe what I was seeing, the horses clearly love him and he them. He'd did like a doggy obedience with one, he was sitting down and lying down on command, from quite a way off! Incredible!
