Sophie St. Clair’s New Article On Horse & Style Magazine

Sterckx Stables rider Sophie St. Clair recently opened up on her experience riding in the Longine Master’s Grand Slam and the fusion of technology into the sport. In the piece written for Horse & Style Magazine, she intimately recounts the experience she had in the show and on her horse Ottavia Des Hayettes. sophiecam2

Below is a brief excerpt from the piece:

This past September, I had the opportunity to compete in the inaugural Longines Los Angeles Masters, a spectacular, 5* international horse show. At only 15 years of age and raised on the California show circuit, my exposure to this elite level of showing was limited. The pressure to perform well in front of some of the most accomplished, decorated and world-renowned horsemen and women in the world was strong. But here’s where having a trainer who is no stranger to performance under pressure pays off. My trainer, David Sterckx, is not only a professional grand prix rider, he’s also a professional racecar driver. At the LA Masters he immediately distracted me from the pressure of my first international horse show with onboard PrimeX cameras from RePlayXD. You may be asking yourself, why this particular distraction? Read on, there was a method to his madness.
