An 11 rider strong contingent with 12 horses has journeyed to Compiegne CDI3*, north east of Paris. It's a crucial competition for our entered Pony and Young Rider combinations as the respective teams will be announced shortly so they'll be hoping for some good percentages. In the senior ranks, Matt Hicks has travelled with Anny Bachrach's Excalibur for the small tour classes while Gareth Hughes must have WEG selection on his mind with Jane Brewin's DV Stenjkers Nadonna in the big tour. Gareth is joined by Dan Sherriff and Bayford Hall Dallagilo who are fresh from their Belgian trip last week to Kapellen CDI.
For the duration of the event, 30 May - 01 June, Compiegne becomes the 'horse town' and all the action is in the purpose built Stade Equestre du Grand Parc.
