French showjumper Nina Mallevaey’s inspiring journey began with a courageous step at age 21 when she asked Eric Lamaze for a job, leading to a breakthrough in her career. Since then, she has steadily risen through the ranks, recently dominating the Brussels Stephex Masters with two career-first 5* wins, including a double-clear Nations Cup victory and a Rolex Grand Prix win aboard Dynastie de Beaufour. Her consistent top finishes have propelled her to #28 in the world rankings, marking her as one of the sport’s brightest young talents.

Mallevaey’s passion for horses was nurtured from childhood by her supportive family and further shaped by mentors like Julien Epaillard and Eric Lamaze. Overcoming language barriers and gaining experience through prestigious competitions and training with top riders, she now rides several elite horses and continues to climb the sport’s highest levels. She credits key figures like Stephan Conter for opening doors early in her career and expresses gratitude as she enjoys this successful phase of her journey.
