Dinard, France – July 29, 2023 – The Jumping International de Dinard CSI 5*, CSI 3*, continued with 6 events, two on sand and four on grass. Besides the legendary Derby de Bretagne CSI 3*, another CSI 3* competition stole the spotlight, even more as a fellow Frenchman claimed the win.
In the €26,200 CRE Bretagne Prize CSI 3*, the final CSI 3* class before Sunday’s Grand Prix CSI 3* with 52 pairs in the running, representing eleven nations, having to complete a perfect round to qualify for the jump-off.
