Jean d'Orgeix has passed away

It finally caught up with Jean d'Orgeix who had braved it already many times with his well-known courage. Instigator and figurehead of Allege-Ideal, Jean left us around the bend of a badly maintained road.

Right through to the end he spread the word on horseback, with all his knowledge, heart and talent.

Right through to the end and in no uncertain terms he expressed his strong faith in the French equestrian tradition, and its future as long as we stick to its principles.

“Death canters behind us” as Saint-Amant wrote.
