TheMerode is delighted to host "La table des cavaliers" – lunch with an international show jumper
La Table des Cavaliers was born in 2017 from a desire to bring together equestrian enthusiasts and personalities from the equestrian world. Each edition honours a champion, sometimes a legend or a key player in the history of the sport. For example, La Table des Cavaliers has welcomed Olympic competitor Nelson Pessoa, Olympic champion Pierre Durand, and Félix-Marie Brasseur, dressage legend Anne d’Ieteren and Ingmar de Vos, President of the International Federation for Equestrian Sports.
The Table has only 20 seats and cultivates the ambition to offer everyone the possibility to participate in a conversation around the guest of the day.
At this very special edition, hosted by TheMerode, we invite you to join showjumping rider Jérôme Guery over lunch and conversation. Come and meet this talented athlete. He will tell us about his beginnings, his present and his ambitions.
