Two years ago, the 39-year-old horse breeder who participated in Love is in the meadow 2017 (M6) confided to Purepeople.com that she wanted to sell her stable in order to change her life. Where is Julie today? She gives us her news.
In March 2020, you told us that you wanted to change your life, because of fatigue and certain comments from employees in particular. What about two years later?
Not much has changed unfortunately (laughs). The team has been for sale for two and a half years. There were offers but it never came to fruition. It was couples of young people who did not have the bank agreements or a gentleman who dropped me five days before signing to buy another team. There, there are people who are on it right now, but they can’t get an answer from the bank. Until I sell, I can’t change my life. So I’m at the same point as two and a half years ago, except for the emotional side.
How do you feel about this situation?
That’s all the work I’ve done in recent years. At some point when everything does not go as we hoped, there is a work of letting go, acceptance and resilience to be done. We tell ourselves that there must be a reason for all this. Today I am in letting go, trust and faith. I live day by day. When there are obligations, I try to find solutions and I wait to see what life has in store for me.
Do you manage to have more time for yourself?
Yes. Already I had a lot of fun getting back on horseback. For more than two years I couldn’t and that was one of the reasons I decided to sell. There I admit to having regained a lot of pleasure in doing my job and it’s not bad. The clientele that remained corresponds more to the way I operate, so things are going well. I didn’t try to relaunch the activity, because I don’t find it honest to say that I’m doing it because I have to hold on but I’m likely to sell and leave. So I have a little more time and I take advantage of it to take care of myself.
How do you see your future once your team is sold?
For now, that’s the question mark. I’m selling the stable but not my horses, so I’ll have to find where to put them. I always negotiate a few months after the sale to have time to look back. I want to go to Brittany, to Morbihan. I had a real crush on the surroundings of Vannes. There is this desire to move, but to stay in the horses not against. I’ve had time to think about it a lot over the past two years and I want to find an activity around horses, but completely different from the one I do today. More around horse care with natural methods, energy care. After how it will be, I have no idea (laughs).
What can we wish you?
My particular expectation is to sell the stable to be able to start a change of life. I want to find the place and the project that will bring me pleasure. And I hope to find the person who will also be able to support me in this project and with whom I can start a family. I still have this hope, even though I am 39 years old.
