Missed Paris or re-watch the world's best?
The Longines Global Champions Tour offers a unique opportunity to see the best showjumpers and riders in action up close. For example, many competitors from the Paris Olympic Games are present, including the Dutch trio with ‘bronze’ Maikel van der Vleuten, Kim Emmen and Harrie Smolders. But also the leader in the FEI rankings Henrik von Eckermann, ‘gold’ Christian Kukuk and ‘team gold winner’ Scott Brash will compete. Sanne Thijssen, winner of the 2023 Grand Prix of Valkenswaard, defends her title.
That is why Longines Global Champions Tour is also called the ‘Formula 1 of equestrian sport’. The prestigious event is organised at the world's most beautiful venues, including Miami Beach, Mexico City, Shanghai, Madrid, Saint-Tropez, Monaco and London. The Paris edition is traditionally held under the Eiffel Tower. As the centre of global show jumping, Valkenswaard is the most outstanding venue.
A weekend full of spectacular competition and entertainment
So at the iconic and breathtaking Tops International Arena, the crème de la crème of equestrian sport will gather at the end of August for a weekend of spectacular competition. The Longines Global Champions Tour is a showjumping competition, not dressage. Teams of two riders compete for prizes. Besides equestrian sport at the highest level, there is also room for entertainment, with music, culinary treats and activities for children.
