Bourg-en-Bresse, 8 years later...

8 years ago Patrick participated already once at the show in Bourg-en-Bresse. He had the chance to get some experience on the international level with the 8 year old horses Robin Van Roosendael and Cento Lano. A that time I was still joining him as a groom and chauffeur for the lorry with the help of my father in law Laurent and our son Marnick ( who was 3 years old).
We still remember how happy we were back then with the 6th place from Robin Van Roosendael in the 1m40 class. Now, 8 years later, the children of Cento Lano our jumping on a international level. Centro Z goes with to Bourg-en-Bresse, also Cashmira DH Z and Belvedère are jumping with Ivan Dalton at the CSI** in Bonheiden.
In these 8 years the show changed a lot and it became a beautiful show where it gets difficult to get participation.
But Patrick got in as well as Jos Lansink, Cindy Vanderstraeten, Rik Hemeryck, Philippe Lejeune and Gudrun Patteet. They will be participating for Belgium and hopefully they get even a better result than the 6th place back than.
The show in Bourg-en-Bresse starts on Thursday afternoon and you can follow the results by the next link.
