The name Fassler has its origins in European traditions where surnames were often linked to professions. In Swiss German, Fassler once referred to a cooper, a craftsman who shaped barrels with precision and skill. Our roots go back to Alsace, a region with a rich cultural heritage, a blend of French and Germanic influences.
In my family, art and classical tradition have always held an important place. My grandmother, my mother, and her five brothers all played a stringed instrument: violin, cello, and double bass. Although I myself did not pursue this musical path, I found my artistic expression through classical dance from the age of three, which I practiced for ten years. Movement, discipline, and the pursuit of elegance became my own language.
The link between these two worlds is found in a symbolic detail: the violin bow, whose hair comes from the horsehair. An invisible thread connects music, art, movement, and the animal that embodies nobility, strength, and sensitivity.
Even though my path led me to dance rather than riding, my love for horses has always been present. As a child, I had the chance to approach a pony raised by the daughter of my father's best friend. This animal, though wary and difficult to approach, accepted my presence while rejecting that of others. This moment left a lasting impression and confirmed this instinctive connection with the equestrian world.
Fassler is thus the convergence of several heritages: those of craftsmanship, classical music, dance, and the unique relationship between humans and horses.
