A nice month of April at the equestrian center
This spring will have been marked by bad weather! After the CSO (show jumping competition) in Bozouls on March 13, in the rain, wind and snow, the CSO scheduled for Poney Village on April 3 was canceled due to weather. So the instructors, thinking of the young people who have experienced two years of successive cancellations due to the Covid, offered the registered riders to participate in an internal competition at the city’s equestrian center. All responded, and despite the cold and a few snowflakes, this little competition was very warm and the riders, from the youngest to the infirm riders, were deeply concerned about the competition!
Finally, on April 18, Easter Monday, the Equestrian Center Rally took place! Two loops, of 10 and 20 km, have been marked out (thanks to Jérôme Fougassier for his invaluable help), to the delight of the 130 participants, whether on foot, mountain bike or on horseback. Welcomed early in the morning with coffee and cake, everyone left to discover the paths, to meet at mealtime around the delicious paella Valenciana Aveyron.
What a pleasure to finally meet again, and without snow!
Everyone took advantage of this beautiful moment of conviviality, which allowed families to meet, riders and non-riders together.
The association would like to thank La Paella Valenciana Aveyron, Puech Boissons, the Castagnié bakery, the Fromagerie Les Buronniers de Laguiole. Also of course the Comtal Lot and Truyère Community of Communes and the municipality of Bozouls for their precious help!
Finally, this event could not have taken place without the investment of the instructors of the equestrian center, and the volunteers, who marked out the loops, prepared the barnums, but also served the meals and held the refreshment bar.
The association especially thanks its great riders, who gave a big helping hand and allowed the members of the office to participate in the rally.
