This week, the 2025/2026-season of the Longines FEI Jumping World Cup™ Western European League continues on to its second stop in Lyon, France.

The Longines FEI Jumping World Cup™ Western European League consists of thirteen legs this season – the action kicked off in Oslo before now moving on to Lyon, Verona, Stuttgart, A Coruña, London, Mechelen, Basel, Leipzig, Amsterdam, Bordeaux, Gothenburg, and Helsinki – with the eighteen best riders from the league qualifying for the final which this year will take place at Fort Worth, Texas, USA, between 8-12 April 2026.

The entry list for the 2025-edition of Longines Equita Lyon includes – among others – current world number two Ben Maher (GBR), 2024 Olympic team gold medallist Harry Charles (GBR), as well as 2025 European Champion Richard Vogel (GER). Last year, at the 30th edition of Longines Equita Lyon, it was Vogel and United Touch S that topped the Longines FEI Jumping World Cup™ qualifier.

Gregory Wathelet (BEL), Roger Yves Bost (FRA), Julien Epaillard (FRA), Penelope Leprevost (FRA), Jeanne Sadran (FRA) and Sanne Thijssen (NED) – who topped the season opener in Oslo – will also be joining the action in Lyon as the 2025/2026-season of the Longines FEI Jumping World Cup™ Western European League resumes.
