Riders of Today"
More than 8,000 spectators, 250 players, 30 vehicles, 80 horses in 2009, these figures demonstrate the magnitude of a centennial event. But the Carrousel de Saumur is mainly a high quality riding demonstration in which the Ecole de Cavalerie and the Ecole Nationale d'Equitation implement all their know-how.
The Carrousel de Saumur has the particularity of combining the talents of cavalry officers of the French army - through the equestrian paintings and displays of ancient and modern armor - and those of the riders of the famous Cadre Noir de Saumur, faculty of the Ecole Nationale d'Equitation.
This is traditional event, which marks this year its 162st edition.
The Carousel is also an opportunity to climb up the colors of Saumur as the capital of riding. The city and its committee join this equestrian event by setting up the operation "All Mounted" (Discovery of riding for youths 7 to 77).
We give you an appointment on 22th and 23th July to attend a performance of high level, unique in France.
