International Jumping of Dinard – CSI 5*, 28 to 31 July 2016
With 14 nations, 42 riders among the best in the world and 104 horses at the highest level of competition in the International Jumping of Dinard, the CSI5* will have a feel of Olympics. And for a good reason! Among the riders, 12 will be at the Rio Olympic Games to defend the colours of their country. There will be high level sport in Brittany!
