Longines CSIO St. Gallen is a show filled with tradition, great sport, and enriched by enthusiastic spectators that can enjoy the relaxing surroundings at Gründenmoos.
This year, Longines CSIO St. Gallen organised its 93rd Nations Cup and the Swiss crowds filled up the show ground for the biggest classes. With artistic horse sculptures placed around the arena, and circus artists popping up everywhere – also in the ring during the course walk for the Longines FEI Jumping Nations Cup, which was open for the public – the atmosphere was very relaxed, and the kids were kept entertained.
The organisers also made sure to recognize the grooms and at each prize giving the winning groom received a gift.
First out in this photo special is the man who stole the show – home hero Martin Fuchs – that first won the Longines Grand Prix of Switzerland riding Conner Jei, then continued with a double clear in the Longines FEI Jumping Nations Cup with Leone Jei to lead Switzerland to victory for the first time in 26 years.
