Montenmedio refines the final details to host, during six weeks, what will be the most important circuit in Europe. On February 13, a very special edition of the famous Sunshine Tour – which this year celebrates its twenty-fifth anniversary – will start. 

The circuit, that is going to distribute more than €1.300.000 this year, will start the first week with a CSI2* to get horses and riders ready – and will continue with two CSI3* and three CSI4* the following weeks. As usual, the young horses will go out to the ring during the week and on the weekends the most important classes, including the 28 Longines FEI ranking classes, will be held.

More than 1800 horses and 450 riders will until 24th of March visit the facilities of Montenmedio, that on the occasion of their anniversary have been improved.

21 arenas with the latest technology, two of the new rings made with the support of Geolastic, spaces for veterinarian and two SPA for horses, training belts and treadmill available for rent, more fixed boxes and three hundred new parking places for trucks will be some of the improvements this year.

Among the most important confirmed riders on the international scene are Pedro Veniss (BRA), Jérôme Guery (BEL), Gudrun Patteet (BEL), Luca Moneta (ITA), Cian O'Connor (IRL), Olivier Robert (FRA), Gregory Wathelet (BEL) and Peter Charles (GBR).
