Eugenie Angot

Eugenie Angot is a French showjumping rider born 27th June 1970, Boulogne-Billancourt. Eugenie Angot is the daughter of the composer Michel Legrand and the wife of Cedric Angot. She discovered riding at the age of six, when her father bought her a Shetland for her and always had a love of jumping building her own obstacles with chairs and brooms. At eleven, she gets her first title of champion of France in ponies.

In 2004, Eugenie received the former mount of Alexandra Ledermann, Cigale du Taillis, then 13 years old. After a good ranking of the couple at the end of 2003 at the CHI 5 * in Geneva, Eugenie was selected to go to the Vigo CSI 5 * contest in February 2004. It is here, by winning this important stage of the Circuit W, she would then subsequently go on to winning many other classes ranking in numerous World Cup GP`s, qualifying for the final where she finished 4 th behind Bruno Brouqsault. In 2004 Eugenie Angot was selected to take part in the Athens Summer Olympics with her brother-in-law Florian Angot. Unfortunately, these Olympics prove to be bad for the French since 2 couples of the 4 entered, were injured during the Team events. Only Eugenie and Florian remain in the individual medal race ... But a score of 8 pts (Eugenie) and 12 pts (Florian) both deprives them of the podium. Subsequently, in January 2005, Eugenie resumes competitions with Cigale, after a long break for the mare. In December, the rider won the CSI5 * W GP at Olympia in London but Cigale. In September 2006 Eugenie achieved her best victory of her career, winning the CSIO5 * of Calgary. The French rider n ` not so far and still wins a new Grand Prix, Helsinki, CSI 5 * W, in November 2007.

In 2007 Cigale was retired from international competition at the GCT Valkenswaard. Below you can watch Eugenie Angot in action at Spruce Meadows riding Cigale du Tallis.

That`s when the mare Illostra Dark, takes the place of the best French rider leading horse. The class couple very regularly in World Cup circuit as in Paris-Bercy where he finished second in the Grand Prix. But, in February 2008, the horse gets injured during the jumping of Bordeaux and Eugenie loses his place of leader. It was not until May 2010 that Eugenie was awarded the 9 year Old Chap Tame stallion with which she returned to the highest level. In particular, she won the Nations Cup of the Mythique CSIO 5 * at Aix La Chapelle in July 2012 and participates with the French team at the 2013 European Championships. She is a reservist for the London Olympics.

Eugenie Angot remained for many years, best French rider and in the Top 20 of the FEI RANKING LIST. Finally, in 2014, a new mare comes to flesh out the piquet of the French. Davendy`S, a new mare bought in Belgium, is classified in Grand Prix CSI5 *, notably in Lyon during the World Cup final. The two horses will finally be sold at the end of the year. It is now her husband, Cedric Angot who is present on this circuit of international level with Rubis de Preuilly (horse on the list JO / JEM 2016-2018).

From 2004 to June 2005, Cigale and Eugenie remained both ranked as the best couple in the world in number of rankings / races run.
