The second installment of The Riviera Jumping tour kicked off today at the Domaine Equestre des Grands Pins in Vidauban, and continues until Sunday 8th June. The state of the art complex played host to the first part of this prestigious tour at the end of May, which included the CSI**/Young horses and CSI/Invitational events.

This weekend visitors are treated to the CSI***/Young Horses Invitational where over 80 professional riders will be joined by 50 amateurs and junior hopefuls hoping to show the huge crowds what they can do, and if all goes well, become champion.

After this weekend, the tour moves to Cannes which will host the ‘Jumping International de Cannes’, where top names such as Olympic champion, Rodrigo Pessoa, American Michael Bates, and Australian Edwina Alexander are all expected to take part.
