An exceptional lawn for great sport

After several months of meticulous work carried out by Michel Poncelet and his teams, the grass pitch at Chantilly Classic has now reached a level of density

After several months of meticulous work by Michel Poncelet and his teams, the Chantilly Classic grass field has now reached an unprecedented level of density and quality. Thanks to an intensive regeneration program carried out since winter—scarification, re-seeding, fertilization, watering, and regular mowing—the turf has undergone a transformation. The result? A deeply rooted, dense, and homogeneous field, ready to host the finest show jumping events. This new green carpet now combines aesthetics and performance, offering rider-horse combinations an ideal surface, combining flexibility, stability, and safety. With just a few weeks to go before Chantilly Classic 2025, the grass field is ready to write a new page of history.
