2021 French Pony Championships

Blanche Carré Pistollet became the winner of the 2021 French Pony Championships held in Le Mans, France, on 9 - 11 July 2021.

The annual French Pony Championships serve as final French team selection trial for the European Pony Championships, which will take place in Strzegom, Poland, in 10 - 15 August 2021. Eight combinations contested the Nationals at FEI pony level.

Traditionally the pony championships are held in Lamotte-Beuvron, but this year they moved to Le Mans. The second day of competition was rained out but that didn't dampen the spirits and competitive atmosphere.

Carre Pistollet and the 8-year old AES registered pony Dazzling Kid d'Herbord (by Oscar La Chevalerie x Flatteur) won the national title with a score average of 70.278% after placing second in the first round (68.931%) and winning the second round (71.626%).

The silver medal went to pony team routinier Cassandra Rouxel on the 6-year old home bred Follow Me Fast (by Under Cover Fast x Doppelspiel). They averaged 69.527% after winning the first round with 69.786% and placing third in the second round (69.268%).

The stallion has now moved on to a new rider...
