"Almost by accident I found a way to protest the current trends in dressage and hopefully give people a few chuckles along the way," she says.
The summer of 2009 she turned website into a book, expanding the text and adding a number of new illustrations. She has gotten reviews, including by Eurodressage on their "What's Happening Page," and to her total surprise there is now talk of French and German editions of the book.
As for her professional background, Guillot has more than 40 years experience as a scene and costume designer and illustrator, her theater credits including more than 100 productions ranging from drama to ballet and opera.
In addition to SuperPrix, she has written and illustrated Sprinkles the Dressage Pony for young riders, with a foreword by Walter Zettl.
She is currently working on her next book, The Dressage Queen's Handbook, the essential guide to achieving true DQ status. I can't wait!
In the meantime, if you enjoy kicking a little controversy into conversation with your DQ acquaintances or have friends who may still be on the fence about the rollkur debate, here's the perfect little tripwire of a book.
