The Vaumicel competition on June 8 and 9 rewards riders and volunteers

On June 8 and 9, the Vaumicel club organized its equestrian competition. On Saturday at 2 p.m., thirty-two children in their tens began with pony games hosted by Mr. Masson, under the eyes of their parents. Others competed in a jumping competition on a relatively easy course traced by Mr. de Bellaigue. The Crédit Lyonnais sports group, represented by V. Leonet, offered the lots.

On Sunday morning, the first interclub series was reserved for beginners, with nine obstacles of eighty centimeters. After the meal at the snack bar held by volunteer parents, the events resumed at 2 p.m. with a second series for horses and ponies with integrated dam, then a third series. A rally through woods and fields around Vierville was also taking place. The article indicates one hundred and fifteen riders and a jury composed of Mr. and Mrs. de Gouville.

Mr. Lemoyne, director of the Crédit Lyonnais administrative center in Bayeux, handed over cups, lots, plates and waves. The club gave Mrs. Leonet a wreath and a medal from the Monnaie de Paris for twelve years devoted to the riding section of the GSCL de Bayeux. Mrs. Gauthier was to succeed him. Mr. de Bellaigue then offered a drink of friendship to the competitors and volunteers mobilized for one or two days.

On Saturday, Catherine Boitard, from Vaumicel, won the pony games. In the first series of pony jumps, Sébastien Huard on Natacha preceded Sébastien Huard on Ninas and Grégory Moore on Ninas, all from Vaumicel. In the second series, Gwenaëlle Courbot on Cantor was ahead of Grégory Moore on Kashmir and Laurent Letourneur on Candy.

On Sunday, twenty-five foul-free courses are reported in the first series without a barrage: Marie-Christine Lestelle on Isis, then Stéphane Christy on Pirate, from Vaumicel, and Agnès Louer on Miclos, from Équerres. In the second integrated barrage series, Emmanuel Ledunois on Kenia and Bruno Ledunois on Kenia, from the If pony club, preceded Christophe Favier on Heureuse Enfant and Grégory Hay on Jaguar, from Vaumicel. In the third series with an integrated barrage, Emmanuel Bichon, of the If pony club, was ahead of Nadège Bourdon over Lucrèce, of the Mondrainville Poneyterie, and Bruno Ledunois on Kenia.
