For the 4th consecutive year, the competition zone at the Domaine Equestre des Grands Pins is preparing to host one of the most important equestrian meetings in France. From 27 February until 24 March, the Var will be rocked by musical dressage and clear rounds. The formula is simple: four weeks of high level competition in two Olympic disciplines.
A quick look back on the highlights of the past year at the Domaine Equestre des Grands Pins…. and a look ahead at some of the major events to come in 2013.
The 2012 edition was a great sporting success for both the dressage and show jumping. The dressage was the last chance for many to qualify for the Olympic Games in London. Many prestigious riders took part, such as Carl Hester, Valentina Truppa, Yuko Yagi, Emile Faurie or the French rider Jessica Michel. After her success at the sunshine tour in Portugal, the Haras de Hus rider came straight to Vidauban where her excellent results gave her France’s unique dressage qualification for London.
