Without François Nicolle's paw,
Bipolar
would not have been
Bipolar
.
It is a certainty for Jacques Détré, its owner.
"
Bipolar
is a super champion with a limited physique.
Younger, he was sick.
It is thanks to the craftsmanship of his trainer, who knew how to prepare him and target his races, a little English, two nice races for a big event, that he managed to have this exemplary career.
The three-time winner of the Prix La Haye Jousselin (2017, 2018 and 2019) leaves the competition.
His entourage made the decision to end his career.
“In life, you have to be reasonable.
After ten years of work, this horse deserves a nice retirement, ”adds this ophthalmologist who has been bitten by the equestrian thing for more than thirty years.

"It's extraordinary the emotions he was able to give birth to in me"
Another essential person around the gray jumper, Emmylou Guillemin (27), his training rider, is the one who has spent the most time with
Bipolaire
.
She looked after him, fed him, pampered him, to the point of becoming the eyes and ears of his boss.
Emmylou knows “all his little habits, his demonstrations of joy to go to the paddock.
"
At the evocation of these moments of complicity, Emmylou's voice sobs.
“It's extraordinary the emotions he was able to arouse in me.
It is such an endearing horse ”continues the future mother of a little girl, who was present at Auteuil on October 18 during the Grand Steeple-Chase in Paris to support her hero one last time, who fell.
“I wanted to accompany him as far as I could.
“Because the former riding instructor would have liked the bond to continue.
“It would have been nice to keep him.
I had found him an equestrian center where I could have continued to ride him regularly.
If one day, his breeder decides otherwise, I will always be there to receive him, ”she says by way of a message.
"Many were ready to welcome him for his retirement", reveals Jacques Détré.
But
Bipolaire
therefore returns to the one who saw him born, Thierry Cyprès, in the Nièvre, to spend happy days.
"He will come back from time to time to François (Nicolle) to enjoy the fresh sea air and watch the others work", Jacques Détré is already programming.
Good news for his favorite rider.
