Liberty dressage with Anne-Gaëlle Bertho

When Anne-Gaëlle Bertho from France discovered the world of horses by pure chance, she was just 15 years old. Now, 10 years and 100 shows later, she shares her love of horses with the whole of Europe in her shows. Her free dressage with her dog and her five horses, three of which she rescued from the slaughterhouse, is an experience that combines poetry, emotion, beauty and professionalism.
