New International Eventing Competition to Debut in Le Mans in March 2022

The Pôle Européen du Cheval, an already well-respected French dressage and jumping venue, will be organizing its first international eventing competition from March 17-20, 2022. The debut Boulerie Horse Trial will take place in Le Mans, about an hour-and-a-half from Le Haras du Pin which hosted dressage and cross country portions of the 2014 Normandy World Equestrian Games.

The program includes a CCI3*S, CCI2*L, CCI2*S and CCI1* with a total prize fund of more than €17,000 alongside numerous prizes. The cross country course designer, Alain Ponsot, and his team have been hard at work building new obstacles, renovating the main track and improving the cross country tracks with sand. Marc Cheminat was named as the show jumping designer.

The event will also be hosting an Amateur Team Challenge reserved for amateurs who have not competed at 3* level or higher for at least five years. Riders in the CCI1* and CCI2*-S will be able to compile teams or two or three for an attempt at the prizes, awarded by the West Cheval saddlery with numerous gifts.
