A highlight of Compiègne Classic, the 3* Grand Prix of the City of Compiègne will take place on Saturday, April 11th at 1:00 PM. The true sporting finale of the weekend, this event is the most anticipated of the competition. In show jumping, a Grand Prix is the premier event: the one that brings together the best horse and rider combinations on a course that is higher, more technical, and more demanding than the others. In Compiègne, riders will have to clear obstacles reaching 1,55 meters, precisely linking together a series of challenges that test jumping quality, responsiveness, speed, and the perfect partnership between horse and rider. The 3* level indicates that this is a top-tier international competition, listed on the official calendar of the International Equestrian Federation. In other words, the public can expect to witness top-level sport, with elite riders, exceptional horses, and a truly competitive atmosphere. Because in this type of competition, speed isn't enough: you must first complete a clear round. If several pairs manage this, they then compete in a jump-off, a decisive second round against the clock. Usually eagerly anticipated on Sunday, the Grand Prix will take place on Saturday this year. A highlight not to be missed to discover, understand, and experience the thrill of international show jumping.
