The inaugural event will take place from the 28th September to the 1st October 2023 in Tops International Arena, Valkenswaard (NED). One week after the traditional WBFSH World Breeding Championships of Lanaken.
New & unique concept promoting the studbooks
The WBFSH Studbooks Jumping Global Champions Trophy will unfold during four days, with five different categories:
- 5 yo CSIYH1*
- 6 yo CSIYH1*
- 7 yo CSIYH2*
- 8 yo CSIYH2*
- Stallions 8 & 9 yo CSI-Sires
Provisional competition program available here
This new studbook team competition concept will gather teams composed of a minimum of four horses per category (max. five horses), appointed by the participating WBFSH studbooks.
Each studbook can compete in several categories, but they do not have to send a team for each category.
This is an exclusive opportunity for the studbooks to showcase themselves and their most promising young horses at top level; to promote them and their breeders in an authentic competition and on a world class stage with the Longines Global Champions Tour, one of the biggest show jumping organizers. An international elite auction will also be organized during this competition.
Additional details on this will shortly follow.
Competition
The qualifiers will take place in two arenas with different surfaces: sand and grass.
The finals will be held in the grass arena.
There are two qualifying rounds and one final for each age group. There is no jump-off against the clock for the final of the 5 yo category.
During the second qualifying round, the horses start in the reverse order of the results of the first qualifier. The final will be between the best fifteen teams of each category, with only three horses per
team, appointed by the “chef d’équipe”.
N.B. A rider can ride a maximum of two horses in the same category, but cannot compete for different studbooks. There must be three different riders for the finale.
Prize Money
There will be both individual and team prizes, 25.000€ team prize and 5.000€ individual prize.
