Justin Verboomen (BEL), Winner of the Région Île-de-France Grand Prix Freestyle with Zonik Plus: "The setting in Fontainebleau is exceptional. I was really looking forward to taking Zonik back outdoors because I feel that in this configuration, he wants to show off and put on a show. For our return to outdoor competition, we delivered the two best performances of our career. I am truly very happy! Before the event, I stay very focused in my own bubble, but coming off the track and during the prize-giving, it’s a pleasure to see so many people around the arena."

Charlotte Fry (GBR), Runner-up with Glamourdale: "I am very happy! Glamourdale was incredible both yesterday and today. I had wonderful sensations over these two days. We are riding in the most incredible arena here, and it reminded me a lot of Paris. It was great. We have come to Fontainebleau every year since the first edition because the atmosphere is excellent and the horses are happy. We truly enjoy returning every year!"

Frederic Wandres (GER), Third place with Bluetooth OLD: "I am very grateful to be here. I was very happy after the Grand Prix yesterday and I am pleased with our freestyle as well. Today, I wasn't quite in sync with the music, so that’s an area to improve for the next shows, but it’s a good start to the outdoor season. With Monica [Theodorescu], we had planned to come to Fontainebleau a long time ago, and I believe it was a good idea. I think we could be strong candidates for the team this summer."

Raphaël Saleh (FRA), President of the Jury for the CDIO5-NC:* "The sport was fantastic—truly top, top level! Thank you to the riders who showed us beautiful horsemanship. You can see they are capable of high performance while maintaining respect for the horse and harmony. A huge 'hats off' to them because it was very well ridden. The venue is fantastic; the riders are delighted. Thank you to Sylvie Robert and the Federation for helping us host such competitions in France. It is extremely important for the sport and provides a great showcase."

Jean Morel (FRA), French Dressage Team Chef d'Equipe: "I want to thank GL events and the French Equestrian Federation for bringing together all the competition levels and age categories. The para-dressage riders also trained here this weekend. Bringing the whole French dressage family together on a field like this is exceptional and rare. Regarding the French team, we saw great things in the CDI3*, including horses that will likely join the national team soon. Our riders are returning to a high level. Pauline Basquin is gaining more confidence; without a small error in the pirouettes, she would have been at the prize-giving. Our goal is August. We can't enter every event, so we will focus on the most important ones for us."

Sylvie Robert (FRA), President of GL events Equestrian Sport: "I thank the FEI for entrusting us with these competitions, particularly the FEI Nations Cup. We make a great team with the French Equestrian Federation and the Grand Parquet, which is an extraordinary site. We discovered Justin Verboomen at the European Championships, then saw him break records indoors in Lyon, and here he has delighted us again with new personal bests. The public turned out in force this weekend, as did the weather. The sport is evolving in the most beautiful way, especially in France, and I believe we are contributing to that. We look forward to seeing you this Wednesday for the jumping and next year for the dressage!"
