The renowned FEI Dressage pony gelding Tim has been maintained for French Dressage. The Faujour family acquired the Swedish bred gelding from the Albeck family after daughter Joy decided to call her riding career quits.

The 16-year old chestnut gelding Tim (by Helekis Timjan x Amiral) will be the schoolmaster for French pony rider Caroline Faujour, who has previously competed Vinkenhove's Lester at FEI pony level. Faujour will be Tim's fourth FEI rider after Elin Aspnas, Anne Fabricius Tange and Joy Albeck.

The Versailles based Faujour family bought Tim and the pony arrived on Monday 20 February. Caroline trains with the Belgian Virginie Deltour in Brussels.

"Tim is a really good schoolmaster for me and I hope to learn a lot from him," Caroline Faujour told Eurodressage. The young French rider travels to Belgium every weekend and during every school holiday to train in Brussels.
