Table des Cavaliers: meet Gregory Wathelet

An intimate lunch with Belgium’s Olympic show jumper on discipline, risk, and the pursuit of excellence.

Grégory Wathelet has spent his life defying gravity — and expectations. From modest beginnings in Huy to the Olympic podium in Tokyo, his path to becoming one of Belgium’s most decorated show jumper was anything but linear. Along the way, he made bold choices: riding under a different flag, managing elite stables, and building one of Belgium’s most successful horse breeding operations.

At this exclusive lunch, hosted by Table des Cavaliers founder Fabio Ghezzi Morgalanti, we will have an intimate conversation with Grégory about the hidden pressures of international sport, the art of taking calculated risks, and what it really takes to maintain peak performance over time.
