* Did you know that…
Jean-Marc Imbert is one of the world´s greatest equestrian stars. In France and Europe, Jean-Marc Imbert appears in arena spectaculars with his horse Nikito. Riding without a saddle or bridle, Jean-Marc communicates with Nikito as if by telepathy.
Jean-Marc began his relationship with horses when, as a child, he stopped formal riding lessons and chose instead to study the bond that links man and his horse. Very quickly, Jean-Marc learnt that he could let the horse learn by instinct rather than imposing traditional training techniques.
