Last weekend, it was once again time for one of the highlights in the international showjumping calendar – the Longines Global Champions Tour and Global Champions League of Mexico City. This colourful and vibrant event attracts a huge crowd every year, and the 2023-edition was no exception.

In this photo special, we look back at some of the many highlights from the event. First out, Nina Mallevaey and Crack d'La Rousserie canter past one of the many stunning arena decorations.
