The 2015 Vidauban Dressage Festival is gearing up to a sizzling start with the FEI Nations' Cup as highlight on the first week of competition on 4 - 8 March 2015. Show host Bernadette Brune of Domaine Equestre Des Grands Pins has organized this year's edition to the T in order to give riders, grooms, judges, spectators and fans the royal treatment and a VIP show experience!
The 2015 Vidauban Dressage Festival kicks off on 4 - 8 March 2015 and continues back-to-back the week after with the World Dressage Masters on 11 - 15 March 2015. Located near St. Tropez, Vidauban is a central access point for top level equestrian competition and high society leisure time at the French riviera.
Domaine Equestre des Grands Pins (DEGP) will be playing host to the world’s top dressage riders and offers one of the most complete programmes for high performance riders: a CDIO 3* FEI Nations' Cup event, the CDI 5* World Dressage Masters and international and national classes from pony and children's level up to Under 25 and Grand Prix.
This year the Festival will be a complete mega event. Riders and spectators will be treated to "theme gala evenings" with live band music and special awards for the best rider, best groom, most elegant seat, etc. Everybody can be a winner in Vidauban! This show will be the perfect place to build your social and business network.
Don't miss Nations' Cup Party on Saturday 7 March 2015. The evening will feature musicians Caroline Billard, Lise Darly and DJ Balatman. The dress code is: "come in your country's colours!" On the second week for the CDI 5* World Dressage Masters there will be a Saturday Night Fever party in which you can dress up in the style of the 1970s. Fun guaranteed!
Vidauban is the competitive rendez vous point at the beginning of the 2015 equestrian year. Switching from the indoor to an outdoor show atmosphere can be tricky so Vidauban offers riders to arrive a week earlier to train and familiarize their horses on the show grounds. The facilities are accessible all year round in case riders wish to make Vidauban as a lay-over station or spring-summer training facility during their holidays at the Cote d'Azur.
Show organizer Bernadette Brune is proud to be hosting this show for the sixth consecutive year: "It’s a huge pleasure to organise the VDF and welcome the best riders and horses to the South of France. We are constantly striving to improve the quality of our infrastructures and services available to the competitors and visitors. The live results display is the big addition for this year. As we are hosting the 2015 European Dressage Championships for Young Riders, Juniors and Children in July, we felt it was important to introduce this system for this year’s VDF. We hope it will help our visitors to understand dressage, and enable insiders to sharpen their analysis of each movement."
