On Saturday, rest day between the special Grand Prix and the Free Grand Prix of the European Dressage Championship, the organizers have planned a parenthesis for families, closed by a demonstration of the Black Frame of Saumur and the “Galileo” acrobatic show.
On Saturday August 30, there may be no sports competitions on the Jiva Hill Stable site, in Crozet (01), however families will be welcome at 10 a.m. in the exhibitors’ village, where entry will be free on this occasion. More than twenty stands await visitors and entertainment for the youngest will also be on the program, such as ponies back trips, who always meet a strong craze with budding riders. Two refreshments and numerous food trucks will also make it possible to eat in the magical setting of Jiva Hill Stables.
French tradition
In the evening, the organizers will offer an evening made up of two exceptional shows. Starting with the very famous black setting of Saumur. The emblematic institution of French horse riding will present a show in two stages. In the first part, the figures will be commented by a squire of the black frame: horse work, control of the rider, rigor and elegance of the presentation. In the second part, the public will attend a 15-minute show perpetuating the rich heritage of French horse riding and whose reputation is known far beyond the circle of initiates.
Celestial theater
Then, will come the tour of the acrobats of the company Deus ex Machina and their air show “Galileo”. The latter is distinguished by the establishment of a monumental and articulated sphere, perched more than 15 meters from the ground and around which will evolve the
Acrobats. This immense ball, evoking the old astronomical instruments, will lead the artists in circular movements, recalling the celestial mechanics of the time. Acrobats will also play with physical forces, such as weights and counterweights, pendulums or even ellipses. Known for its spectacular air creations, the company combines acrobatic, scenographic prowess and light effects. The head riveted in the stars, the spectators will be swept away for an evening in a magical world.
For this exceptional evening, a specific ticket office is offered for sale on the website of the European Dressage Championship, www.crozet2025.com, today. It will also be possible to reserve a table on the hospital terrace or on the Casa Jiva tribune. The proposed menus will be served between the two shows. Again, the demonstration site indicates the reservation process.
