​It was only after a few years performing at the theatre that Anne-Charlotte began her veterinary studies. Her ease of communication probably owes a great deal to this early experience, and in any case, it’s hard to feel uncomfortable with Anne-Charlotte.

A rider from an early age, she immediately devoted her professional life to horses, after defending her thesis on the links between Cushing’s disease and laminitis in older horses, giving her extensive experience in this field.

A keen learner and enthusiast, Anne-Charlotte is currently taking a farriery course, which she started in Australia, to add to her knowledge. She regularly runs EquiJunior training courses all over the world.

Skiing and trail riding are her source of energy for such an active life.

Having ridden horses since childhood, Dr Petitgand quickly turned to the veterinary profession and enrolled at the Lyon Veterinary School.
Her training was completed by an internship in equine medicine and surgery in Lyon.
Versatile in the various equine pathologies, she is particularly interested in complementary medicine and therapies (such as phytotherapy and laser therapy)
Working with horses on a daily basis, both in her personal and professional life, she quickly developed an interest in behaviour, medical training and ethology, notably by defending a thesis on the stress of hospitalised horses.
She handles every situation calmly and confidently, combining organisation, rigour and a reassuring presence.

A keen hiker in the mountains, she first spent over 4 years in the Pilat massif (Loire), mainly caring for horses, but also dogs and cats, before moving closer to the Alps 3 years ago. She joined the team in October 2024.
She spends her free time hiking in the mountains and riding horses.
