\tQuelques cavaliers suisses ont travers\u00e9 l\u2019Atlantique pour prendre part \u00e0 la deuxi\u00e8me \u00e9tape de la Ligue des Nations, disput\u00e9e \u00e0 Ocala, en Floride. Dans la Coupe des Nations, ils n\u2019ont pas r\u00e9ussi \u00e0 se hisser parmi les \u00e9quipes qualifi\u00e9es pour la seconde manche, contraints alors de rester spectateurs. Dans le Grand Prix 5*, Barbara Schnieper a d\u00e9croch\u00e9 une 7e place avec Canice, conclue par quatre points au barrage.<\/p>\n
La Suisse n\u2019a pas connu la m\u00eame r\u00e9ussite que lors de la premi\u00e8re \u00e9tape disput\u00e9e quelques semaines plus t\u00f4t \u00e0 Abou\u00a0Dhabi. D\u00e8s le premier tour, Edouard Schmitz et Gamin van\u2019t Naastveldhof ont accumul\u00e9 16 points, un score lourd qui a d\u2019embl\u00e9e compliqu\u00e9 les ambitions helv\u00e9tiques. Les espoirs se sont ensuite effrit\u00e9s lorsque Dominik Fuhrer a quitt\u00e9 la piste avec 12 points au compteur avec Ghost, 3e de la qualificative pour le GP. Barbara Schnieper et Canice ont sign\u00e9 le meilleur parcours suisse, avec\u00a04 pts.<\/p>\n
\u00c0 l\u2019issue du troisi\u00e8me passage, la porte de la deuxi\u00e8me manche \u2014 r\u00e9serv\u00e9e aux huit meilleures nations \u2014 demeurait entrouverte. La Suisse pointait alors au 8e rang, sous la menace de l\u2019Italie, provisoirement neuvi\u00e8me. Le suspense s\u2019est toutefois rapidement dissip\u00e9 : Piergiorgio Bucci, imp\u00e9rial malgr\u00e9 une l\u00e9g\u00e8re touche sur l\u2019avant-dernier obstacle, a sign\u00e9 un parcours sans faute, scellant le total italien \u00e0 20 points.<\/p>\n
D\u00e8s lors, le dernier passage helv\u00e9tique se r\u00e9sumait \u00e0 un sc\u00e9nario parfait pour obtenir la qualification en deuxi\u00e8me manche : un sans-faute de Beat M\u00e4ndli. En selle sur Quintane vd Roshoeve, le cavalier suisse n\u2019a malheureusement pas pu inverser la tendance, \u00e9copant de 9 pts \u00a0(8+1). Avec une 9e place finale \u2014 juste devant les \u00c9tats-Unis, plomb\u00e9s notamment par la chute de Lillie Keenan et les 33 points conc\u00e9d\u00e9s ensuite par Laura Kraut \u2014 la Suisse voit ainsi son parcours s\u2019arr\u00eater au terme de la premi\u00e8re manche.<\/p>\n
Cette \u00e9tape aura finalement consacr\u00e9 l\u2019Allemagne, avec seulement quatre points au compteur. L\u2019Irlande (8 points) et la Belgique (12 points) compl\u00e8tent le podium. Au classement provisoire apr\u00e8s ces deux manches, la Suisse occupe d\u00e9sormais le 7e rang.\u00a0Rien n\u2019est toutefois fig\u00e9 : deux \u00e9tapes restent encore \u00e0 disputer, laissant aux Helv\u00e8tes une marge de r\u00e9action pour relancer la dynamique et se maintenir dans\u00a0le top 8 qui disputera\u00a0la finale de Barcelone.<\/p>\n
