2003 CDI-W Paris Horse Show Annulled
The
organisation of the "Paris Horse Show", the
annual CDI/CSI World Cup Qualifier in Paris-Bercy, France,
has annulled the 2003 edition of their show.
The Paris Horse Show asked for extra funding for the
upgrading of the 2003 show due to the recent successes
of the French Show Jumping Team at the 2002 World Equestrian
Games. However, the president of the French Equestrian
Federation, Mrs Jacqueline Reverdy could not grant this,
which made the Paris Horse Show decide to annul the
competition in 2003.
Main organizer Jacinte Giscard d’Estaing immensely
regrets the situation but will keep involved in the
horse business. The Paris Horse Show hopes to be able
to rely on the Palais Omnisports of Paris Bercy, the
sponsors and spectators for a new rendez-vous at the
2004 CDI Paris.
