On the way to the national federation finals
It is time for the grand final of the Amateur Gold Tour FFE - Esthederm and the French Federal National Style and Equitation tour. After coming through the most challenging show-jumping and hunter classes in France, the best riders and horses will be going head to head in Lyon. For the occasion, everyone will be starting on an even keel, with the scores all set to zero, making these two-day finals even more entertaining and exciting. The National Style and Equitation FFE Hunter champions finals will take place on Thursday afternoon in the Equita Jump arena, and the Amateur Gold Tour FFE - Esthederm finals will be held on Sunday morning in the International and Show arena.
Lyon will also be hosting the third stage of the Grand Indoor FFE - AC Print tour involving some of the best couples on the national scene. The riders will be competing on Thursday for the Grand Prix presented by Cheval TV (with obstacles at 1.45m). The top teams in the provisional ranking will be represented in the main arena at the Longines Equita Lyon International Equestrian Competition: the GEM Equitation team with Thomas and Mathieu Lambert, the Or Vet - Ar Tropig team with Benoît Cernin, who is in great form and won the title last year, and the Euro Mat - Planète Broderie and Equibalneo - Horsealot.com teams, who are tied in third place in the provisional ranking. All the riders will be aiming for a double clear round and trying to join the prestigious list of winners.
