The story begins with a
jumping horse rider, her
engineer brother and
a very unpredictable mare!
• Everything starts in 2012, when Marine, a show jumping rider, buys her first mare, a beautiful "Selle Français" named "Roquepine de Genestel".
• Despite the 10-year experience of Marine, Roquepine is unpredictable and even dangerous.
• Whenever, Marine is performing a jumping session, the mare finds a way to eject her.
• Falls after falls, the relationship between the rider and her mare is broken.
Marine & Roquepine circa 2012
• Hugo Kajdas, Marine’s brother, finds studies showing that like humans or other animals, horses are responsive to music: they become less tense with it and even more, they are born dancers!

• Hugo is an engineer so he figures out an embedded solution using music to handle the mare behavior’s issue.
• The relationship between Marine and Roquepine start again!
• Effective from day one, Hugo’s homemade solution is about to turn into a startup project.
