On Tuesday afternoon, the horse-and-rider-combinations at the Longines FEI Jumping World Cup™ Final 2023 in Omaha, USA, got familiar with the main ring at the CHI Health Centre. With the fences set to 1.40m, each pair had 90 seconds at their disposal and could choose to jump or simply flat around – and many opted for the latter.
In this photo special, we look back at Tuesday's warm-up session as the actual starting point of the 2023-final –the first round on Wednesday night – gets closer. The last time the final took place in Omaha was in 2017, and it was won by Mclain Ward. Back then, Ward rode HH Azur, while this time it is Callas that is the American ace's partner.
