The first obstacle competition of the Perriots equestrian society

With the help of the Vaumicel club, the new rural equestrian society of Perriots organized its first show jumping competition. This test shot brought together 198 competitors from the West, registered in five events, in front of a large audience.

The jury was composed of Denis Bonin, president of the Perriots, Bertrand Lestel and Robert Medot. Michel Ruel held the stopwatch and Mrs. Onufryck the secretariat. The sub-prefect of Bayeux, Mr. Piolé, and the general councillor of Isigny, Mr. Rauline, were present. A photograph shows Mrs. de Bellaigue presenting the prizes of the Vierville-sur-Mer Prize.

The Vaumicel price, played on scale A in two phases for four-year-old horses, had 41 engaged. Pétronille Duhil de Benaza on Plume des Unelles ranked first, ahead of Daniel Vautier on Snack and Delphine Lemercier on Kirelezane. The beginning of the following report mentions 43 participants in the Duquesne-Purina Prize, also on the A scale in two phases, for five-year-old horses. The rest of the results are missing in this copy.
