Everybody remember this fantastic individual gold medal won by the young Irish rider at the FEI European Pony Championships 2010 (in Bishop Burton, UK). Riding Acapella Z, he clearly dominated his opponents, after contributing to the silver team medal of the Irish show jumping team two days earlier. This weekend (29 April), Bertram Allen won his very first international senior Grand Prix at the CSI2* of Antwerp (BEL)...at only 17! Another proof that international pony circuit is the right way for children to become champions few years later!

The organizing committee wants to thank Laurence Bonnet, her daughter Cécile and her pony Idem de Valmont for having participated to this operation with an apparent pleasure. A big thank too to all the PSV J. Morel's team, leaded by Jean, Cécile and Clément, the official photographer of the show. You'll discover the poster very soon!

It's the very first graphic element being revealed: the Euro Pony's logo. Sober, elegant, modern, it recalls clearly the attachment to sport ponies and to Europe. It's composed of 3 colours: black for the silhouette, gold for the stars and the name, and anthracite for the text. This has been created by AC&COM agency (Anne-Charlotte Remy) and will be stamped on all the official documents published by the organizing committee and the communication department, with specific adaptations for some products.
