Four hundred visitors at the Vaumicel open house

During an open day organized on a Sunday at the Vaumicel equestrian club, visitors discovered equestrian activities through horseback or pony baptisms and free carriage rides.

In a room of the castle, an exhibition of photographs presented the life of the horse in the Vaumicel: amazons, carriages, walks, hikes, resumptions and competitions, as well as the site itself. A communal meal had also been served.

At the end of the day, the results of the photo contest were announced. D. Saillard won a hike at Mont-Saint-Michel. Henri l'Allard, Michaux and Mélina Coqueret, ranked second, third and fourth, won a day of hiking at the Pointe de la Hague. Levels, J. Moore and C. Favier, fifth, sixth and seventh, received a three-hour walk on Vierville beach. All the other participants got a two-hour walk.

Despite the bad weather, four hundred people had come. Two hundred baptisms on horseback or pony and one hundred and fifty in carriage had been carried out. The takeover of Amazons led by Hubert de Bellaigue and the educational recovery led by René Masson had been very successful.
