France and Italy lead at Jardy

The French National Day has been disturbed by the violent weather across Europe and Jardy was not spared.

The French Broucqsault Pauline wins first qualifying children and the Italian Valentina Isoardi prevails in juniors of the European Championships. The Young Riders must wait until Thursday morning to begin.

Really well-motivated to shine on the European Championships, France has set the tone early in the morning with victory for Pauline Broucqsault and his vibrant Oscar Basin.

Bruno Broucqsault, former World Cup winner, came to support her two daughters. His smile spoke volumes about the victory of his youngest child and he told us that Oscar Basin was tricky to ride. That horse has much force and it was not easy for Pauline to control all its stride. Congratulations to Pauline who has not had cold feet and chained up in a course pending.

ITALY'S VALENTINA ISOARDI LEADS IN THE JUNIORS

As for the Juniors, the Italian anthem resonated in the late afternoon at Jardy, thanks to Valentina ISOARDI and Lumière d’Aix. Turkey is second with Derin DEMIRSOY riding Surprise. Only two hundredths behind, we find Belgium on the third step of the podium with Michael Vanden Bosch and U2.
