Sport will have pride of place in the second half of the year in Grimaud, in Var, and in Ratières, in Drôme! With ten new dates featured on the Fédération Équestre Internationale’s calendar between now and the end of the year, the HUBSIDE JUMPING is back, to the delight of riders and faithful show jumping enthusiasts who have made the events organised by Hubside.Store and Indexia Group, THEIR events for four seasons.
After the FEI first canceled the competition for the rest of the year due to the non-payment or late payment of the winnings by the organization, it appears that an agreement has now been found, together with new dates for the Hubside jumping.
Two weeks before the World Championships, held in Denmark from 6 to 14 August, the HUBSIDE JUMPING will launch its HUBSIDE SUMMER TOUR in Grimaud, from 21 to 24 July, with a CSI 2* Open and a CSI 1*. The tour will continue with the traditional two weeks of competition in Ratières-Valence, where the HUBSIDE JUMPING VALENCE will be in full swing from 18 to 21 August (CSI 2 and 1*) and from 25 to 28 August (CSI 3, 2 and 1*). Stefano Morriale, the Italian course designer, will be in charge of the Grimaud courses, while the track of the classes in Drôme will be entrusted to Grégory Bodo and Cédric Longis, currently reputed to be the best French course designer for the former, and his successor, for the latter. The HUBSIDE JUMPING is a keen supporter of high-level sport. It will then return to Grimaud in September for the HUBSIDE FALL TOUR (CSI 3* from 8 to 9 September, CSI 4* from 15 to 18 September, CSI 5* from 22 to 25 September and from 6 to 9 October, and CSI 4* from 13 to 16 October) and in November-December in Ratières, in the Haras des Grillons indoor school (CSI 3* from 24 to 27 November and from 1 to 4 December) for the HUBSIDE WINTER TOUR.
Created by the successful businessman and rider Sadri Fegaier, the HUBSIDE JUMPING, sponsored by Indexia Group and Hubside.Store, brings together all the best riders in the world on two sites, the Haras des Grillons in Grimaud and in Ratières, for five annual events: the HUBSIDE SPRING TOUR (Grimaud), the HUBSIDE SUMMER TOUR (Grimaud), the HUBSIDE JUMPING VALENCE (Ratières), the HUBSIDE FALL TOUR (Grimaud) and the HUBSIDE WINTER TOUR (Ratières). All the biggest names in world show jumping have at some point competed in the HUBSIDE JUMPING's ring, including the 2016 French and 2021 Swedish Olympic team gold medallists, World number 1 riders Kent Farrington, Steve Guerdat and Martin Fuchs, the legendary John Whitaker and the best female riders in the world such as the Americans, Laura Kraut and Jessica Springsteen. The last show organised as part of the HUBSIDE JUMPING was held in Grimaud at the end of May 2022. France’s François-Xavier Boudant won the Grand Prix on the Sunday in the French Riviera’s big ring, ahead of the founder of the circuit, Sadri Fegaier, who was second.
"We are really pleased and excited to play host to the HUBSIDE JUMPING’s different spectators for the 2022 HUBSIDE SUMMER TOUR and the HUBSIDE JUMPING VALENCE. The HUBSIDE JUMPING and its partners Hubside.Store and Indexia Group have been committed to riders and sport since the launch of the circuit in 2019: we are committed to continuing this venture," explains Sadri Fegaier, President and Founder of the HUBSIDE JUMPING.
In 2022 and in the years to come, especially as the Paris 2024 Olympic Games approach, the HUBSIDE JUMPING will continue to put its facilities in the Var and Drôme regions, whose top quality has been universally praised, at the disposal of riders, in the interest of sport and performance.
