RUBY ROYAL... what a pleasure for me to have found this young quality horse of 4 years old for my client, Sabine Décaillet from Suisse, who had lost her adorable horse, ANGEL (also bought with me in 2003), some weeks ago.

Here is the testimony of the husband of Sabine, who accompanied her in the research for a new horse under my guidance :
Visit in Denmark the 19th to 21st of june 2009
Billund is an aeroport in the center of Denmark.
This is where we arrived, me and my wife Sabine, on friday the 19th of juin 2009, in the afternoon.
We wanted to spend an extended weekend on discovering this country that we had never visited...

(on photo, the windmills in big numbers in Denmark... the symbol of a country with great ecologic conscience and the necessarity of preservation of our planete)
... including the main key : the possibility of a presentation of several horses to replace the horse that Sabine had lost recently in despair.
I keep a special souvenir of the moment with our meeting with Pia Munck. Not only was she announcing, while putting our lugage in the back of her car, that we had to take off immeadiately on a drive of 200 kilometers in direction of north-west of Denmark, but also that the day would be long because we were not supposed to be back at the hotel to sleep before 11 PM or midnight...

(Denmark is a country of numerous fjords and islands, with bridges and ferryboats...)

The tone of the trip was given, and I thought that our weekend would rapidely turn into a labour of visits of differents stables and into endless waiting moments and discussions with the owners of the danish horses.
The first day of our journey went as expected, but very soon my sentiment of frustration disappeared when I understood the function of the presentations of the horses with Pia.
In fact, about 20 to 25 minutes before arriving in the stables of each presentation of horses, Pia called up the owner to make sure that everything was ready and that the horse was already walking under rider at the moment of our arrival, and this even if our visit was announced and organised some days before.
The second good surprise was to realize that if you had a little bit of possibility to speak english, then you could easily communicate with more or all the owners of the horses.
A presentation last between 20 and 40 minutes, depending if the horse pleases or not, and if the buyer, Sabine in our case, want to try to ride the horse. I think I can confirm the the amount of information and actions
Une visite dure entre 20 et 40 minutes, selon que le cheval plaise ou pas et que lacheteur intéressé, Sabine dans notre cas, veuille essayer la monture. Je crois pouvoir affirmer que la concentration de données et dinformations données en si peu de temps est telle quil est pratiquement impossible, même à un néophite de sennuyer au cours dune telle visite.
A peine la visite terminée, nous voilà reparti pour 200 nouveaux Km vers le centre du Danemark.

Ces 200 km passèrent vite étant donné la conversation et les échanges dimpressions diverses.

La deuxième visite suivi bien entendu le même shéma que la 1ère. Cest en réalité vers 21:30 que nous nous arrêtames pour le repas du soir qui eu lieu dans un petit restaurant typique :



La petite balade nocture dans les ruelle du village dOdense, nous avons permis de découvrir la maison natale dHans Christian Andersen :

Pour quelquun qui se décrit volontiers comme un disciple dEpicure, je puis vous assurer que ce moment fut des plus agréables. Je commençais à découvrir également que si les chevaux intéressent et passionnent Pia, il y a également dautres centre dintérêts.
Cest finalement vers minuit que nous sommes arrivés à lhôtel familial que nous avait réservé Pia :
