The individual dressage championships ended with a halftone for the French women and a bang for the Germans, as the French pair unfortunately lost their pole position and finished their top cross-country test completers, dropping two places per team.

Mae Rinaldi It’s done: Immaculate over time and its maintenance leadership In last year’s gold medal chase. Unfortunately, So ballot In the meantime, a robbery has occurred Voltaire de Lalande (Quoutsou, PFS) Coming out of the last combination, before the final hurdle: a heavy penalty for this co-pillar couple of the team, because they are in second place after the dressage. Germany held on to second place as Ireland took the opportunity to take a fourth lead after the first test. Great Britain are punished by the elimination of their top couple after dressage and are therefore temporarily relegated to fourth place.

The other two riders on the French team, Ocean Willetton etc Ambrose MindruFirst time, and signed the perfect course Babylon Night Graves (Midnight du Brana, Co) and, for second, increased his score by 2.8 points. Versailles des Morins (Rasmus, Co.). Finally, two individual pairs Clement Tonnon (Vidocq de Berder) etc Loric Hardy (Duncan’s star) took 1.2 and 8.4 time points, respectively.

« I am happy to have five riders on six clear jumps “, agrees national coach Gilles Viriselle, who succeeded Emmanuel Quittet, who held the position for twenty-nine years. My first European pony championships that I’m participating in are: it’s a high level, but our riders are well prepared for cross country on the national circuit; In dressage, on the other hand, judgment is harsher at the European deadline than at home. Of course, we all regret stealing Voltaire, but Zoe was kicked out when she got the last suit entry, and there’s nothing this super pony can do without it being dangerous. It’s sports. We have a medal for the team tomorrow and of course we hope for another gold medal for May. ».
