The HEIA team
Audrey
Fascinated by horses from a young age, Audrey had to convince her parents to let her 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 herself, she is extremely passionate about horses! What she enjoys most about her job is taking the time to listen, advise, and recommend products tailored to her customers’ needs. She is always on the lookout for new products that can improve horse comfort and offer better cohesion between rider and horse.
Lisa
Lisa is currently a student at the Fribourg School of Management, where she is pursuing a bachelor’s degree in business economics. Alongside her studies, she works as an administrative assistant.
Lisa joined the HEIA team some time ago. She is mainly responsible for ambassador relations and sponsorship.
Passionate about the equestrian world, she enjoys combining her love of horses with her work at the HEIA store.
Fia
Fia has been riding horses since she was six years old. Her first horse came into her life when she was 11. It was a small Polish gray horse with which she could do everything. Mainly show jumping, but also dressage, trail riding, and even a little carriage driving to try it out.
Over the years, she has had other horses, mainly for jumping, but due to back problems she had to give up jumping in favor of dressage. Currently, with her horse, an Oldenburg she picked up from its breeder in Sweden when it was young, she mainly does dressage and beautiful trail riding in our magnificent region.
Fia is delighted to join the HEIA team a few Saturdays a month, in addition to her work as a travel agent.
Célia
Célia has been living in Switzerland since 2010. After spending more than five years working in various stables and obtaining her Federal Certificate of Proficiency in classical horse riding, she took a break from the equestrian world for a few years to travel.
In 2021, her passion caught up with her: she returned to the equestrian world with the aim of resuming competition and providing coaching. Now self-employed, Celia divides her time between working with horses at the RD stables, located at IENA, and traveling to give lessons. She competes in dressage and show jumping.
Celia joined the HEIA team in September 2024. She looks forward to meeting you and putting her experience at your service to provide you with the best possible advice.
