Heading to Lamotte 💙🤍❤️
The Lamotte-Beuvron French Equestrian Championships are the highlight of the season. Months of preparation condensed into just a few days of competition, an atmosphere like no other, and that rush of adrenaline you simply can't find anywhere else. Whether you're competing in Eventing, show jumping, dressage or hunter, whether you know the venue well or are discovering Lamotte for the first time, one rule applies to everyone: preparation makes all the difference — not just in training, but down to the smallest logistical detail. To arrive at the start with confidence, here is our complete guide to the essentials you need to bring.
The must-haves 🔥
For a smooth stay at Lamotte, the key is to pack carefully — both your bag and your horse's, leaving nothing to chance 🧳 Here are our absolute must-haves that you simply can't leave behind!
We've thought of everything! 🙊 So you don't miss a thing, we've created 4 downloadable and printable check-lists, tailored to each discipline:
Number holder ℹ️
This is the one accessory you can't forget: your start number must be visible at all times, whether your horse is being led in hand or ridden.
Choose a universal model that fits bridles, headcollars and saddle pads alike. Our recommendation: the Equithème round 3-digit number holder, from €3.99 ✨

Airbag vest 💥
Falls can happen even to the best riders. Wearing an approved airbag vest in competition is now a must. We've selected the full Hit Air MLV3 for its reliability and comfort 🤩.
Good to know: you can drop off your used Hit Air cartridges for recycling ♻️ and receive €2 off your next cartridge purchase.
Fly protection products 🪰
Lamotte in July also means insects 😅
To protect your horse from flies and horseflies throughout the competition, opt for complete protection: long-lasting spray, fly mask and ear bonnet.
Our favourite: l'Émouchine Total by Ravene, effective, invisible on the coat, with no stains or sticky residue 😉
Cooling products ❄️
The two championship weeks take place in the height of summer, often in intense heat. Keeping your horse well hydrated and comfortable is a top priority. Alongside regular showers, make sure to incorporate active cooling solutions.
Our pick: the Back on Track cooling towel, no freezer needed — simply dampen it. The Cool on Track technology promotes evaporation for instant freshness 💧
Muscle recovery balm 💪
After intense days of competition, your horse's muscles need time to recover. A warming or recovery balm applied with a massage in the evening helps release tension, boost circulation and prepare for the next day.
Discover our massage products to support your horse's recovery and wellbeing 🧡
The hoof care kit 🐴
Hard ground, varied terrain, long hours in the stable — at Lamotte, hooves work hard.
Pack a nourishing hoof ointment to keep the horn hydrated. Our favourites are:
✨ Blond Paskacheval hoof ointment
✨ Kevin Bacon's blonde hoof grease
✨ Pediflex Ravene moisturising hoof oil
