ROUND 4 IN ROTTERDAM 

A LITTLE ERROR IN THE FRENCH DEPARTMENT.....

Despite their exceptional and undoubted talents, the French dressage team will NOT be competing in today's fourth leg of the 2007 Samsung Super League with FEI in Rotterdam, The Netherlands.

Yesterday's Samsung Super League with FEI Press Release No. 9 erroneously listed the French squad which competes in this weekend's dressage Nations Cup at the 59th Rotterdam Show instead of the show jumping team, but there will be little or no piaffe, passage or pirouetting going on when the jumpers go into action today. French show jumping Chef d'Equipe Gilles Bertran de Balanda sends out a strong side that includes Florian Angot riding First de Launay, Stephan Lafouge with Gabalou des Ores, Eugenie Angot with Ilostra Dark and Roger-Yves Bost riding Ideal de la Loge and, drawn second-last to go, they will be in determined mood. Lying sixth on the Samsung Super League with FEI leaderboard going into this half-way stage they need to boost their points in order to move away from the USA and Sweden who are battling it out at the bottom of the order.

Today's competition begins at 14.00 local time.
