The Castilla-La Mancha government has endorsed the Regional Dressage Championship, which took place over the weekend at La Hípica in Cuenca. The event featured a total of 114 participants and 98 horses, with 130 performances on the arena.
Organised by the Club Hípico La Melgosa, led by Raúl Fernández, the competition brought together athletes from various parts of the region. Notably, the two local clubs, La Melgosa from Cuenca and the Equidepor Equestrian Club from Tarancón, performed exceptionally well during the championship.
Marian López, the regional delegate in Cuenca, attended the awards ceremony alongside city councillors Alberto Castellano and Héctor Serrano. López congratulated the organisers on the success of the event and reaffirmed the regional government's support for such initiatives, which help bolster the efforts of local clubs and establish Cuenca as a venue for major competitions.
She emphasised that events like this significantly impact the promotion of the city, attracting athletes, families, coaching staff, and supporters, thereby generating economic activity in the hospitality and other sectors.
Lastly, López expressed her gratitude to the Club Hípico La Melgosa for their commitment to hosting competitions of this calibre in Cuenca, utilising the equestrian facilities owned by the Provincial Council of Cuenca, which are regarded as the best in the region.
