France Hosts Major Equestrian Events Ahead of 2026 Season
Berry Stables, based in Châteauneuf-de-Galaure, remains central to the regional equestrian landscape as France gears up for a high-profile spring and summer schedule. The 2026 CDIO5* Dressage Nations Cup in Fontainebleau is slated from 16 to 19 April, followed by a five‑day show jumping series from 22 to 26 April, both free to the public (eurodressage.com). In early April, the Compiègne Classic CSI 3*, featuring world‑number‑one Scott Brash among top global competitors, ran from 8 to 11 April in Oise, Hauts‑de‑France (jumpernews.com). These events reaffirm France’s commitment to equestrian sport and provide a competitive backdrop that could influence regional clubs like Berry Stables.
