OFFICIAL’S DIARIES: STEWARDING AT THE EUROPEANS YR/J/Ch

August 26, 2018

Hello everyone!

This time I want you to come with me to the European Championships for Young Riders, Junior and Children 2018 on Fontainebleau Le Grand Parquet, France.

The event was organized by Grand Prix on the Showgrounds of Le Grand Parquet, Fontainebleau. It was the European Championships for jumping, dressage and eventing. Between the 3 disciplines there were over 600 horse/rider combinations over 7 days of competition. There were 7 arenas + the cross country, canteen, restaurant, bar and 80+ shops … needless to say it was a massive show.

I was steward only for the Dressage part, but was an amazing experience being part of a such big show. I want to thank Didier Ferrer and Aurelie Naidja for the invitation and my fellow stewards Walter, Kasia, Natalia, Francisco, Valeria, Jean-Louis, Michaël, Magalie and Isabelle for all the things that I learned & then fun moments we had.
