In her last year competing as a young rider, Zazie Gardeau won the individual gold medal at the European Championships in Hartpury, England, riding C\u00e9sar de Commarin LA. After a season of impressive achievements, now’s the time to take a short, well-earned break. But before that, our Antar\u00e8s rider answered a few questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
How are you feeling 48 hours after the championships?<\/strong> What was C\u00e9sar’s programme to prepare for the championships?<\/strong> What was your programme?<\/strong>
“I’m still on cloud 9. I can’t believe it. I’m hugely pleased. It’s a great way to cap my time as a young rider. It really makes up for when Udine got injured at the European Championships for young riders and juniors last year. I felt like giving up but I’m proud that I persevered. The work paid off!”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n
“C\u00e9sar and I spent 3 weeks in Italy at the start of the season to get back into it. We competed in a full 1* international event at Montelibretti where we came 4th. We then took part in the 3* event where we came 6th! That meant we qualified for the European Championships. After a 6-week break, we finished 3rd in the CCI 3* Short at Saumur, out of more than 120 competitors. We made some final adjustments at the Pro 1 competition at Le Lion d’Angers then we came 4th in the Pro 2 event at the French Championships in Vittel.”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
“I have a sports coach who monitors me and I run and exercise in the gym when I have time. With 3 horses to ride, I’ve got a busy agenda. I also work with Carine Camboulives<\/a> for the mental training.”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n
