Audrey
Fascinated by horses since a young age, Audrey had to convince her parents to start riding at the age of 7.
She embarked on the HEIA adventure in 2017 by buying the company which was previously located in Avenches. Although she is not a great rider, she is an enthusiast. What she appreciates in her job is taking the time to listen, advise and offer products adapted to the needs of her customers. Always on the lookout for new products that can improve the horse’s comfort and offer better cohesion between the rider and his horse.

Fia
Fia has been riding horses since she was 6 years old. Her first horse came into her life when she was 11 years old. It was a little gray Polish horse that she could do anything with. Mainly CSO but also dressage, walks and also a little driving to test.
Over the years there have been other horses, especially jumping, but due to back problems she had to give up jumping in favor of dressage. Currently with her horse, an Oldenburger that she picked up from her breeder in Sweden when he was young, she mainly does dressage and beautiful walks in our magnificent region.
Fia is delighted to join the Heia team a few Saturdays per month, in addition to
his work as a travel agent.
