Administration and Communication Officer
At the age of 3, Sarah discovered equines during a pony baptism. For her parents, it is the beginning of (very) long hours following her and watching her indulge in this passion. After a law degree and a BTS communication, Sarah knows that horses must be part of her professional daily life.
She knows racehorses first through the reformed thoroughbreds who are her partners in CSO. She has even retrained a filly herself in the discipline of endurance.
The inner workings of racing are familiar to her through the years she spent on racetracks as a veterinary assistant on Parisian racetracks . Sarah now owns trotters. She is also at the head of the Moulin d'Aubry stables, boarding house for resting or convalescing racehorses. Her spouse also works in racing as the first boy in a trotting stable in Normandy.
Enthusiastic, precise and attentive, she will be able to respond to your requests to facilitate all your procedures within Auctav.
