The Horse & Donkey Equestrian Complex of Lignières-en-Berry (France, south of Bourges) will host from 30 September till 3 October the 3rrrrd International 3 Day Event of Lignières.
Thanks to the dynamic organizing committee and the high quality of the equipments of the complex, there will be 3 competitions: a CIC 1 star, a CCI 2 stars and for the very first time the only CCIO2* this year in Europe. This last class will support the Alpine Cup, a traditional event which will unite European countries by national teams.
This is only the 3rd time Lignières welcomes an international 3 day event. But the association ACEVA, chaired by Gilles Chanteloube, also an international steward, already wanted to bring some innovation. Besides the traditional CIC1* and CCI2*, the organizing committee organizes a CCIO2*, also called « The Alpine Cup ». This consists in a team competition run on the CCI2*. There will be 2 classes and 5 rankings:
­ a CIC 1 star with an individual ranking sponsored by Farnam.
­ a CCI 2 stars with an individual and a team rankings, sponsored by FREZOT Saddlery.
Plus a special trophy sponsored by Publigift for the best 6 and 7 year old horses on the two competitions.
Already much appreciated by British riders, the International 3 Day Event of Lignières should seduce nations like Germany, Austria, Switzerland, or Italy, added to the loyal countries usually participating such as Portugal, Spain, Belgium and Great-Britain.
