Seoul 1988. Pierre Durand and Jappeloup, show jumping © André Lecoq/L'Équipe October 2, 1988. It is Jappeloup who decides. The little black horse had become famous in his own way, in 1984, by refusing an obstacle. In Seoul, he will make an effort... "This morning when I saw him in the box, I felt that he was in one of his best days", Pierre Durand said. One clear round later, the horse and his rider are Olympic show jumping champions. He was invited to appear on the 1pm news on TF1 and a jubilee was organised for him under the Eiffel Tower... Pierre Durand? No, Jappeloup, of course, who will die suddenly in 1991, leaving his rider inconsolable. Single later print. Edition 1/1. Printed on Hahnemühle FineArt Baryta Satin 300g paper. Flamant art frame. 40 x 60 cm
