She now trains in the Podere Il Castro equestrian center, owned by her mother Valerie Plum who also follows her in the preparation of the horses. “It was really a great satisfaction – says Marie – also because I obtained this first medal with a mare that we bought when she was three years old and that we prepared with so much passion. With her who is now 9 years old I also recently won a great prize. In addition to my mother, Gianluca Fortinelli also follows me in training.”
