Victories come one after another, the latest one being the Ascona CSI 4*, and he is Swiss champion for the third time. Our Antar\u00e8s rider Bryan Balsiger<\/a>, 25 years old, answered our questions to talk about his horses, their training and his goals for the season!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Give us your thoughts following your win.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

“As well as the Grand Prix, this is the third time I’ve won the Swiss Championships, riding Chelsea here in Ascona. It was my number one goal of the season! I was really set on getting good results and I had good vibes with my horses from the start of the week. Dubai came 2nd<\/sup> in the 1m 30 competition, Chelsea 4th<\/sup> on Friday and Don Juan won the jump off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I had a really good feeling about Dubai for the Grand Prix even if she’s still young. We’ve been making great progress over the last 3 years we’ve been riding together. Her form was good and she jumped really well. We also got a bit of luck when we needed it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

As for Chelsea’s performance, Romain (Duguet) and Barbara (Schneiper) both rode flawless rounds in the competition, which gave me an even greater incentive. I wanted to rise to the occasion and as my start was towards the end of the event, I had time to dissect the circuit. It was the icing on the cake for that Sunday!”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tell us about your horses.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Dubai du Bois Pinchet is a 13-year old mare and it’s her first year at Grand Prix 5* level and first time at the Nations Cup. Dubai is always improving and that’s not going to stop! I’m really pleased with her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chelsea Z is a 9-year old mare and she’s been a really steady performer at 3* and 4* levels. I’m very happy with her results, especially her performance at the Swiss Grand Prix.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

As for Clouzot de Lassus, we are just starting to ride our first ranking events. In fact, he made the leader board last weekend in Saint Tropez.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I also ride several 8-year olds, including Special, Scarlina and Cyra. They need to do a bit more work but they’ve got great potential and have quality written all over them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Urbanus Z is a 10-year old Hungarian who has won a lot this year. He’s also a great performer in jump offs. He made the leader board at the Derby in La Baule!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last, there’s Don Juan, who’s a steady performer in the 1m 40 and 1m 50 events. He’s won a whole host of events this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have a really positive feeling about my horses and I hope we’ll continue on this track!”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How do you get your horses ready? Do you have a special programme?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Some times of the year are more important than others and that’s when it’s best to keep things as simple as possible. As a result, everything runs smoothly and me and my horses can share the joy together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Otherwise, some weeks provide an opportunity to make some changes or those final necessary adjustments.”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

What are your goals for this new competition season?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I’m targeting the World Cup rounds, so I’ll focus on these key dates. The next rounds are in Oslo (from 13 October 2022) and Helsinki (23 October 2022). I want to make the final!”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do you have a routine as a rider?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I’ve got a fitness programme to stay fit and switch from one event to the next. I strive to be in the best shape possible because I don’t want to be a hindrance for my horses!”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Can you give us an update on Twenty?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Twenty is still at the clinic to properly stabilise and treat her leg injury. She should soon be returning to Switzerland in one or two weeks’ time and I can’t wait to see her. She’ll be able to enjoy her retirement and perhaps provide us with her successor.”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

We wish Twenty a good recovery and the whole Antar\u00e8s team supports Bryan<\/a> for this great season to come!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
