Pompadour – Racing and Dressage

After our guests left today we went into Pompadour to see some horse racing (meetings every Sunday during the summer) and watch some Dressage at the National Stud.

The racing was interesting but a couple of races was enough! Perhaps if I had placed a few euros on some of the runners my enthusiasm would have been increased.

 

 

There was also some special races between the main events:

 

 

A short walk away at the National Stud we saw a couple of horses in the dressage:

 

 

This was a French national competition but even so there were only about 50 spectators.

Entry to the dressage was free. The racing was free to watch from the road, or 6 euros to get into the course and stands. We returned just before the last race and yby them you could get into the course for free.
