A PRIVATE CHAT WITH...

CAMILLE CONDÉ FERREIRA

what memory do you keep of your first equestrian competition ?
it wasn’t really an official competition but i recall it vividly. i was at home and my father was going through a course with his horse while i was following him on a shetland. i was probably five but i still keep a good memory of that moment.

what is the highlight of your career so far?
I’m thinking of my victory at the 2015 junior european championships in wiener neustadt in austria, on the saddle of pirole de la chatre. it was the consecration of an amazing season.

WHICH SHOW JUMPING EVENT INSPIRES YOU THE MOST?
there are quite a lot, but the one that comes to my mind is the global champions tour in miami.

i love good luck, ridden by cian o’connor, but also niels bruynseels’s mare, cas de liberté.

i think i would have gone to the air force. i would have liked that.
