Notes

Seoul 1988, ribbon commemorating the victory of Jappeloup de Luze. This cocade was never worn on the bridle of Jappeloup de Luze but was rather a reward. It is a rememberance of the incredible feat of the horse and rider. The victory of Pierre Durand (FRA) and Jappeloup de Luze at the 1988 Seoul Games was considered a triumph for this small horse of 1,58m. Private donation
