Lisieux 2019: Marijke Hammink, Lefort and Guerin in the lead

The pony singles and pony teams entered the dressage arena of the Hippodrome in Lisieux on Friday for their dressage test. The weather was not too warm and not too cold, perfect 'pony weather'. Dutch pony team driver Marijke Hammink was unanimously awarded with the first place and has taken the lead. Claire Lefort drove her most experienced pony Oulala d'Ecarnoy to victory in the 3* singles class, while Sabine Guerin put down the best performance in the 2* singles class.
