Default International Jumping de Monte-Carlo - June 2008
Post here news and pics about this years International Jumping de Monte-Carlo ( June 26th - 28th - to be confirmed).

Quote:
The International Jumping of Monte Carlo had taken in 2006 a new dimension while being installed on the Hercules Port of the Principality to the foot of the Rock, vis-a-vis the sea.
The infrastructures of International Jumping of Monte Carlo will succeed the racing cars of the Formula 1 to the Plays of the Small States marking the 60 years of the Olympic Committee Monegasque, for the greatest pleasure of the spectators, the media and in love with the equestrian sport.
The most beautiful conquest of the man will again border on the most beautiful yachts of the world within an exceptional framework.

Thanks for the pics, ladies. It's cool to see Char there with Melanie, and Alex (the good Alex, not the bad Alex, ha). Good Alex=her sister.
I wonder if Alex will take up equestrian sports like Charlotte did. If she intends to, it won't be far off. Char started the jumping lessons around age ten, then started competing around age 12/13.

It's fantastic to see how dearly the little Princess and la signorina Casiraghi love each other.

Thank you all for the amazing pic.
All the three outfits (Char, Alex and Caroline) are good. Charlotte's perfect. Not so sure about Melanie

I agree Tosca, Charlotte is very sweet and protective of her little sister. It is adorable to watch!

I think Princess Alex is a Monaco glamour girl in the making. The girl has a very charming smile yet manages to look haughty as well. Also, her facial expressions remind me of Andrea's (that haughty look, probably, something only Andrea and Alex got from Caroline and not Pierre and Charlotte). I can't wait to see her in her late teens. Like Pierre she's going to become prettier as she grows into her looks.

I can't say that Alexandra looks like she has the makings of a great beauty, not yet. She seems to to be taking after her father Ernst and the Hanovers, she looks just like him.

But it is early yet, very early. When Princess Caroline was a little girl I had no idea that she would eventually become the world class beauty that she did become, and I can see a little of Caroline in Alexandra too.

And you are right, who would have thought that Pierre would grow up to outdistance Andrea in the looks department?

The pictures are great. Charlotte looked very pretty, and I loved her outfit. I would so wear something like that. The pictures of the sisters together are very sweet, and they seem close, considering their age difference.

It is great news to hear that Monaco equestrian interest is taken more of a foreground approach. In most countries the love of all things equestrian is a true delight as i am sure to all of us, as well. The pics of little Andrea---my how she haaaas g-r-o-w-n. She too is turning into an absolute beauty!! it's marvelous. The view from the equestrian site with Monaco in the background is magnificient. This sport is one of the many truly enjoyable parts of Monaco ! So glad we were given the treat to the pics!

Sadly for those of us who are equestrian ( I always think of it as a religion or nationality rather than a sport) in America there is virtually no coverage even of really big ticket classes like the American Invitational in which only the top 50 riders in the rankings are allowed to compete for the richest grand prix in the country. When my huband first came with me to a european show he was completely blown away. In this country football, baseball, hockey are way higher profile.
