Set in tropical temperatures, the 2022 Jardy brought together a huge group of riders from nations across the world who enjoyed high quality competition in the most beautiful surrounding, celebrating French lifestyle and cuisine on site at the Orangerie restaurant, as well as having the option for dinners in the wonderful town of Versailles.
Jardy is a horse paradise with Norman style buildings, spacious arenas, and plenty of green park and paddocks surrounding the property.
New Footing, 5* Ground Jury
The show organisation listened to the feedback of the riders after the 2022 show and immediately worked with their recommendations.
Brand new footing has been placed in all the competition and warm-up arenas to provide an excellent surface for the 2023 CDI Jardy.
