Bordeaux 2020: all horses fit to compete
The Horse Inspection of the FEI World Cup™ Driving Final in Bordeaux took place this afternoon and all 34 presented horses received the sign 'fit to compete.'Bram Chardon withdraws one horse
Title defender Bram Chardon decided to withdraw his fifth horse, the 10-year-old Lipizzaner Hector because the gelding was not fit this morning: “When we left home and when we arrived here, he was top fit,” explains Bram. “It was definitely my plan to use him because I have been using him all season. He is my left leader horse and the booster of my four-in-hand.”
