Her stated goal is to keep progressing towards the highest levels of world show jumping. She is also involved in training and producing promising young horses.

Today she remains a rising and respected figure in French show jumping.
Her husband, Clément Boulanger, a French show jumping rider, was born on 7 May 1985 in Normandy. From a family of breeders (prefix "de la Ménardière"), he started riding ponies at the age of 6, passed his Galop 7 at 10 and quickly made a name for himself in junior competition, achieving several placings at CSI shows. In 2007, he joined the Haras de Hus alongside Kevin Staut, then the Haras de Lillebec, where he trained and competed in Nations Cups with the French team. He then worked for Stéphane Conter in Belgium, developing his expertise in horse dealing and his network.
In 2012, he founded his own yard in Normandy, at La Ménardière, combining top-level competition, horse sales and coaching. Considered one of the best riders of his generation, he has also worked with prestigious yards such as those of Éric Levallois and Stephex. Today he continues to compete at Grand Prix level and to train young talent, while running a business recognised in the equestrian world, le Haras de Leaupartie (Calvados), together with his wife Julia Segalot.
