Cyrille Piccot-Crézollet
Veterinary Surgeon, Diplomate ECVS (European College of Veterinary Surgeons)
Born into a family of horse-breeders and horse-drawn carriage drivers, Dr Piccot studied veterinary medicine in Lyon.
After his internship in equine medicine and surgery in Montreal, he completed his surgery residency in Lyon.
Next, he taught horse surgery at the Alfort Veterinary College, then practised in Sweden.
Since 2008, he has been an ECVS-accredited specialist and now focuses on lameness assessments, pre-purchase consultations and sports medicine.
At an early stage in his studies, he became interested in back problems among horses and completed his thesis on equine back pain .
(Back pain in competition horses: practical management and therapeutic approach – in French).
His free time is also devoted to animals, particularly in finding injured wild animals using a specially trained working dog.
Stéphanie Vanhamme
After obtaining her diploma in veterinary medicine from the University of Ghent, Dr Vanhamme went to work as a volunteer in a number of different countries to gain more experience in equine medicine.
She then worked in northern France as an equine vet for four years.
In parallel, Dr Vanhamme carried out a number of voluntary missions in India, working in animal health for large and small animals.
As a lover of mountains and a keen climber, she feels very at home in our region.
She also has 20 years of experience in equestrian sports, especially dressage, and breaking in young horses.
Guillaume Cavé
Veterinary surgeon
With keen horse-riders for parents, it was only natural that he would take up equestrian sports and develop a passion for horse-drawn carriage driving. Dr Cavé studied veterinary sciences in Nantes.
After his internship in equine medicine and surgery in Lyon, he gradually moved closer to his family, located in Switzerland.
As a young driver, he was crowned French carriage-driving champion with a pair of Pottoks in the Clubs Elite Grand Prix in 2012.
Through competition, he became aware of the athletic nature of horses and based his thesis around their athletic performance (Correlation between performance indices and objective gait measures for attached and unattached trotting horses: an experimental study – in French).
An outdoors enthusiast, he currently spends his free time enjoying lakes or mountains.
