Mind-blowing Lorenzo the Flying Frenchman Horse Whisperer
Welcome back!
When it comes to man and horse, there is none other more astounding than horse whisper Lorenzo — known as the Flying French Man — whose panache for showmanship and seemingly telepathic communication with his team of stunning grey Lusitano horses is unparalleled.

Lorenzo’s demonstrations of daredevil stunt riding and equine techniques are nothing less than awe-inspiring and jaw-dropping as he balances without saddles or bridles standing upon his bareback horses, jumping and weaving between incredible obstacles at a great gallop as if it was second nature.
Personifying pure trust and harmony between man and horse, the horseman bounds over fences with his team of Lusitano mounts whilst catapulting himself into the air to clear high jumps, all without even a stitch of tack — a truly magnificent display.

Practicing and perfecting his routine on the beach near his home town Saintes Maries de la Mer in southern France, Lorenzo first began performing acrobatic tricks with his Camargue pony 20 years ago.
The French Man and his breathtaking performances is sheer poetry in motion and well on his way to becoming an international sensation.
This 30 year old equestrian prodigy’s spectacular horsemanship has commanded standing ovations in the UK, all over Europe, and Calgary, Canada at the World Jumping Championships.
His increasing popularity has led him to perform at many prestigious international venues throughout the world including the Russian Horses Game St. Petersburg in 2007, and presidential meetings including the Sultanate of Oman in 2006.

Lorenzo was invited to Jordan last September by Princess Alia Al Hussein.
“During this visit, Princess Alia, sister of the King, has enabled us to visit a large part of Jordan, Amman, Petra, and plenty of other unique sites.” said Lorenzo.
“The biggest surprise was the gift from the Princess just before our return to Europe — ‘Faateh,’ a thoroughbred Arabic horse!” He adds, “He will come with us next May [to perform in Jordan].”

Today, he is world renowned as an extraordinary horseman with an amazing connection to horses beyond compare.
Lorenzo woos and captivates audiences to the edge of their seats for his fast and furious performances with demonstrations of incredible skill and control in Lorenzo Action and Lorenzo Emotion — two of the most spectacular equestrian displays in the world.

Very nice site..
I love betting on horses. It allows me to put a wager on horses from the relaxation of my own home. Don’t get me wrong, I also love going to the race tracks to get the all-around experience. The Good thing is that I’ve had good lucky recently and I cashed in on “Mine That Bird” during the good ol Ketucky Derby.
ACTUALLY!!!!!
YES THERE IS!!!
I live in New Zealand and I have had the FIRST HAND pleasure of going to several Clinics with a natural horsemanship fella, whos name needs to stay anonymous. HE is the MOST astonishing horse “whisperer” man Ive ever seen or heard of. Difference being……
He can do all what your “Flying Frenchman ” can. But he doesent sell him self like a circus freak and make money out of it.
The bond and “Zen” is something between You and the Horse. His purpose and misson in life, is to educate and teach people how to better understand the communication between man and horse- and hence indirectly improve the quality of life for horses. That is why he has avoided the limelight, the moment you “bring in ego” to the horse world…you loose your focus and purpose why u are doing it.
He is a line straight down from Tom & Bill Dorrance, Merve Kildey to name a few. He has taken their knowledge from the cowboy ring and adapted to Grand Prix riding.
For those who has met him – will immediatley know who Im talking of and agree.
Sure.Flying Frenchman is great. We need the Circus freaks to get the attention this sport so truly needs.
But there are many other silent geniouses in the world…doing this for real and not for money.Helping and educating and I applaude their passion more then any others……
This man is amazing, so unique, he is completely in tune with nature and these horses love to be with him, this type of act and method of working with horses is so wonderful. I applaud him, he also is far too good looking to have such extreme talent!!!
Haha, cool pics mate.
Thanks for sharing them.
