He is a true champion of French equestrian sport: Roger-Yves Bost, better known as 'Bosti', turned 60 on Tuesday!
As one of the most famous and successful show jumpers in the world, Bosti is also known for his distinctive, idiosyncratic riding style.
Olympic gold with the team
He is particularly remembered for his historic triumph at the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio, where he won gold with the French team — a moment that put him and French show jumping in the spotlight worldwide.
We wish him many more exciting competitions, personal successes, and, of course, lots of happiness and health in the years to come.
