Ask Thierry Rozier : Do you have exercises/tips for a quiet half seat and staying off the horses back over the jump?
Hi Josey,
First you need to adapt to your physique. Then try to be above your feet and to divide your weight equally on both feet. Try to follow your horse’s movements. The balance will come with practice!

Ask<span class='mention__link' data-url='/wall/mention/trozier/'> @trozier</span> : Hi, what is your best advice/exercise to get a horse to engage the backend and keep an active step in trot and canter?
Hi Bess,
It’s pure dressage, you need to work on the horse’s self-carriage. I recommend basics dressage exercises like shoulder-in, quarters-in, haunches-out. The kind of exercise that need to be done on a regular basis. It also depends on the horse, for some of them it’s easier.

Ask Thierry Rozier : What do you look in a young green horse when purchasing for upper level potential?
Hello Lauren,
I always take a look at the horse’s breed and origins but it’s not the most important. The horse needs to have a good morphology and a good conformation of the legs. He needs to have a great physical potential for competition.
The mental also has a huge impact on my decision. I also really need to have a 'coup de foudre'.

Ask Thierry Rozier : What do you do if you are nervous before a show?
Hello Lily,
I am lucky to work with a mental trainer. It helps with stress management. Now I'm not nervous, when at the show I really want to confront the best riders and horses.
I wish I met my trainer earlier, it really helped me to gain more self confidence!

Ask<span class='mention__link' data-url='/wall/mention/trozier/'> @trozier</span> : Is the preparation of a team competition different from an individual one?
Hello Maddy,
Even if we try to ride every course the same way, riding for the French team is always different and special.
When riding in a team you really want to jump clear for you but most of all for your teammates. When in individual if you miss a course it only affects you but in team competition your ride also for other people.
In the warm up of a Nation Cup it feels like every team is going to war, it's really amazing to live!

Ask<span class='mention__link' data-url='/wall/mention/trozier/'> @trozier</span> : How do you organise your horses' work between shows?
Hello Elliot,
Between shows my horse mostly go outside to work. I am very lucky to be in the Fontainebleau forest so I can take my horses out.
They understand that when they are out it's more fun and relaxed and when they work in the arena they have to be more focused and at work.

Ask<span class='mention__link' data-url='/wall/mention/trozier/'> @trozier</span> : How do you organise your time to combine international shows and the training of high level riders like Abdelkébir Ouaddar?
Hello Kim,
I decided to trained Abdelkebir after my father asked me to. Indeed Kebir is trained by him but he needed help to relieve him a bit.
But at the moment I am really focusing on the competition and I put coaching a bit aside.
I made the decision to go back at top level and it's working for now so my schedule is more focused on.
I don't want to cheat with my students and don't be a 100% with them. The experience I am gaining now, I could teach them in a few years.

Ask<span class='mention__link' data-url='/wall/mention/trozier/'> @trozier</span> : How do you select the shows you're going to?
Hello Melinda,
I select big shows I want to compete in and then organize my season to be as ready as possible. I choose the show that will prepare me and my horse the best possible.
But in the end it always changes though the year, for exemple I didn't planned, at first, to go to the Rotterdam Nation's Cup but when Philippe Guerdat told me I was in, I had to change my schedule a little.

Ask Thierry Rozier : What is the best riding advice you have ever received?
Hello Hang,
I don't have a 'best advice' but what I like to do is to observe the other riders. You can learn a lot from watching them ride. For exemple I love to watch Marcus Enhing, Ludger Beerbaum or Kevin Staut.
I also learnt a lot from my father, Marcel Rozier and also from the many experiences I have lived.

Ask<span class='mention__link' data-url='/wall/mention/trozier/'> @trozier</span> : How are the riders competing in the Global Champions Tour selected?
Hello Soline,
The Global Champions Tour choose the riders itself. The host can't choose the riders or the team competing.
The riders has to be in the top 15 ranking list and then the national trainer can invite 5 riders of the host country.
The FEI also has an invitation for the rider of its choice.
