Career

As a 14-year-old Boiteau played his first eventing competitions. In 2000 he won the team ranking of an event in the second highest category CCI *** in Boekelo for the first time .

Boiteau's greatest achievement is winning the team gold medal at the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens . The French had initially finished second, the German team was subsequently set back to fourth place, as Bettina Hoy had triggered the time measurement too early in the show jumping. The International Sports Court upheld the jury's decision.

At European Championships , Boiteau and the French team finished second three times in a row (2003 in Punchestown , 2005 in Blenheim and 2007 in Pratoni del Vivaro ), each behind the British. While Boiteau only competed as an individual rider at the European Championships in Fontainebleau in 2009 and did not finish the test here, he was back in France at the 2010 World Equestrian Games in Lexington . All of his successes at international championships until 2010 he achieved with the horse Expo du Moulin . In 2006 Arnaud Boiteau also finished fourth at the World Cup finals in Malmö with Expo du Moulin .

At the European Championships in 2013 Boiteau was again at the start as an individual rider , his horse here was the gelding Quoriano . In autumn 2014, Boiteau's horse Quoriano competed with him for the first time in a CCI 4 * at the Étoiles de Pau ; they came third as the best French participant. In addition, Arnaud Boiteau and Sultan de la Motte also won the CIC 2 * test here.
