The countdown is officially on. The final push toward the Longines EEF Series Semi-Final is coming to Peelbergen. From May 22–25, Peelbergen Equestrian Centre will host the second and final West Regional Qualifier of the 2025 Longines EEF Series.

With the Semi-Finals approaching, this is the last chance for teams in the region to secure their place on the road to the Final in Avenches, Switzerland.

Portugal took an early lead in the series with a flawless win at the opening West Region qualifier in Lier (April 17–20). Now, with the leaderboard taking shape, 13 nations will line up in Peelbergen:

Belgium, Spain, France, Ireland, Portugal, United Kingdom, Netherlands, Canada, Argentina, Sweden, Brazil, Germany, and Turkey (FEI Wild Card).

Two key highlights anchor the week:

•  Nations Cup 1.50m: Friday, May 23 at 15:00
   
• CSIO3* Grand Prix 1.55m: Sunday, May 25 at 14:30

Peelbergen 2025 is more than just a Nations Cup. Alongside the CSIO3*, the show will also host a CSI1* and CSIYH*, open to all riders, regardless of nation or ranking. The full schedule is published, and entries are officially open.

Riders can compete with up to 9 horses total 3 in the CSIO3*, 3 in the CSI1*, and 3 young horses in the CSIYH*.

This flexible setup makes Peelbergen a popular choice for both top-level competitors and riders aiming to give young or developing horses experience in a 3* setting. Chasing Nations Cup points or bringing a team of young horses to school at a world-class venue: the event offers opportunities across the board.

Prize money across the event totals €190,100:

• CSIO3*: €169,200
   
• CSI1*: €13,500
   
• CSIYH*: €7,400

“Bringing a Nations Cup, a CSI1*, and a Young Horse tour together in one event isn’t just about scale, it means giving riders real opportunities to develop their horses and their programs,” says Ken Ruysen, Managing Director at Peelbergen. “It’s about flexibility, and keeping the doors open to anyone who wants to step into a 3* atmosphere.”

As part of the Longines EEF Series, the Peelbergen leg is a pivotal moment for teams in the West Region. With pressure mounting ahead of the Series Final later this year, every clear round and point will count.
