For the first time in its history, the 2019 X-BIONIC® SUMMER TOUR, presented by Energochemica (16 July – 4 August 2019), will feature three, unique FEI disciplines: show jumping, four-in-hand driving, and endurance. From European Champions to reigning FEI World Cup™ winners, the event will bring together prominent athletes from multiple sports for three, consecutive weeks of dynamic equestrian programming. 

Once again this year, the X-BIONIC® SUMMER TOUR will host a range of CSI1*, CSI2*, CSI4* and CSI YH1* show jumping offerings. Giving top riders the chance to campaign both their seasoned mounts and young horses, the Tour will offer 18 ranking classes and more than €850.000 in prize money. For the second year in a row, the event will also culminate with the €26.000 FEI Jumping Nations CupTM Youth competition for Young Riders, Juniors, and Children (1 - 4 August), an exciting international contest for Europe’s emerging talents. 

In addition, eight of the world’s best four-in-hand drivers will attend the event as part of X-BIONIC® SUMMER TOUR’s inaugural driving competition (26-28 July). Featuring two, CAI2* classes, including the first Action Marathon (Combined Marathon) session at this level to be held in an outdoor stadium, the entries will include, among others, current World #1 and reigning World Champion Boyd Exell (AUS), 2019 FEI World Cup™ Driving Champion Bram Chardon (NED), and reigning FEI European Champion Ijsbrand Chardon (NED).

Finally, the 2019 X-BIONIC® SUMMER TOUR will also welcome the Endurance Summer Spirit, a new endurance race featuring national- and international-level competitions (19-21July). Among them: national 40 km, 60 km, and 80 km distances; as well as international CEI1* 80km, CEI2* 120km, and CEI3* 160km distances.

This year, the Endurance Summer Spirit is expected to host as many as 80 horses from nine countries around the globe.
