Thursday Video: Ride Around Haras du Pin with Andrew Hoy

Okay, okay, you’ve got me: I’m currently totally incapable of thinking of anything other than Haras du Pin, and counting down the minutes until I hit the road for next week’s European Championships. But I absolutely believe that you should be just as obsessed as I am, even if you’re not European yourself, because there’s something particularly special about the venue – it features courses designed by Pierre le Goupil, who will be the course designer at next year’s Paris Olympics. Got your interest piqued? Paying attention to how he builds courses now will definitely yield clues as to what we can expect next year — and next week! — and so I’m diving in headfirst with a hatcam video from last year’s Haras du Pin CCI4*-S, thanks to Andrew Hoy and the indomitable Vassily de Lassos.
