Sports Highlights
The Longines Grand Prix is the grand finale of each leg of the Longines Masters series. It is the key class, support of the Grand Slam Indoor of Show Jumping. A technical, Olympic-level course, with approximately twelve obstacles and fifteen demanding jumps, – up to 1.60m in height at most – with tough sequences and double and triple combinations, requiring horses that are perfectly trained and focused and experienced riders who must not make even the slightest error of judgement. To determine the winner, riders who jump clear (or have the same number of penalties), take part in a jump off, a shorter version of the initial course where time is of the essence.
The prize money of $350K is just the beginning. The Longines Grand Prix offers the winner an opportunity to vie for the Grand Slam Indoor of Show Jumping, the ultimate equestrian challenge across continents. A chance to enter the legend and win an unprecedented bonus of 2.25 million Euros for the rider who can succeed in claiming the top spot in the Longines Masters Grand Prix in Los Angeles, Paris and Hong Kong.
