As a reminder, since June, the DNC epizootic has been progressing in France, in the departments of Savoie and Haute-Savoie, where more than a thousand animals have had to be euthanized. In the canton of Russey, the show has already been postponed until next year, for health reasons . The Trait d'Union has also been postponed. Horse lovers will certainly be there on the last weekend of August 2026 for the 26th edition.
