Organising the event

The purpose of the Association Castel Competition Equestre is to organise the horse trials. It has thirty or so members and relies on over 180 volounteers, friends, riders, people passionate about horse trials during the actual event.

Between 1996 and 2000, it organised the Pony Trials in Choisel and more importantly the regional finals in 1998, 1999 and 2000.

In 2004, it organised, for the first time in Pays de la Loire, the Pony Grand Prix. The Pony Grand Prix is one of the most beautiful in France alongside Pompadour’s.

In 2009, a new milestone is reached : competitions over 2 consecutive weekends, the second one being a horse competition with professionnal events.

In 2012, it hosted for the first time a stage of the “Tournée des AS jeunes” (The best junior riders) as well as the Regional Amateur Championship.

In 2013, the association receives the trophy for Best Horse Trials Organisers on a national level. The trophy was awarded and presented by France Complet.

In 2014, it reaches a new milestone and gets the International recognition with its first CCI 1 star and CIC 2 stars.
