At the beginning of November, international top athletes of the dressage sport and their horses met at the Eurexpo site in Lyon for the start of the 2018/19 indoor season. The event area had been spruced up to an impressive event arena of equestrian sport.
Excellent training conditions, generous stables, outstanding tasting meals and food and a very well-designed competition arena clearly showed that this is one of the most important world cup competitions for dressage. For Dia and Tatiana the entry into the competition did not develop as hoped. Like many horses, the hall she has to accustom to the indoor arena. In any case, Dia went in the Grand Prix tensed up. As a result, just 69 percent came out, which brought the 12th place. On Friday, the pair goes with new hopes in the freestyle.
The program in Lyon left time for sightseeing in the city, which left a welcoming and friendly impression despite the humid weather. The confluence of Rhone and Saone with the Musée des Confluences recalls Tatiana's hometown Nishni Nowgerod
