Hot! Sorry just had to vent. Has the French team been named yet? I know they’re missing Silvana and Myrtille. It just won’t be a show without Roger Yves Bost.

and the area of Deauville is breathtaking. I toured it a few years ago and, omg, every little village has a “haras” or private farm…we even found some really nice B&B with horses out the window… Love the Pays d’Auge!!

I spend some riding riding and showing in France as a teenager. I was based in Normandy (~2km from Haras Du Pin). Deauville was my very very favorite show to attend. I even got to lesson at that show with Katie Prudent. My 14yo self was quite starstruck. She let me hold Mr. Blue while she walked the GP course

FalseImpression, yes, Quartz Rouge is my daughter’s stallion, we are very proud of our selection to compete for the French team at WEG.
Hope we will not be “reserve”, the final 4 will be announced the 1st of September.
