This week, the Longines FEI Jumping World Cup™ Western European League moves on to its 8th stop of the 2022/2023-season – at The London International Horse Show.
The host nation comes strong in force with living legend John Whitaker among the many big British names on the entry list, and he gets company by top riders such as Scott Brash, Ben Maher, Matthew Sampson, Harry Charles and Joe Stockdale. Guests include Henrik von Eckermann (SWE), Steve Guerdat (SUI), Daniel Deusser (GER), Marcus Ehning (GER), Conor Swail (IRL), Peder Fredricson (SWE), Kevin Staut (FRA) and Olivier Philippaerts (BEL) – to mention a few.
The 2022/2023 Western European League season is a busy one, with fourteen CSI5*-W fixtures in eleven countries between October 2022 and the end of February 2023. With the seven best results counting for each rider, the top eighteen will qualify for the final in Omaha, USA, in April.
