The Longines Athina Onassis Horse Show 1 to 3 June 2017
Sponsored by the Swiss watchmaker Longines and orchestrated by rider Athina Onassis, the Longines Athina Onassis Horse Show ("LAOHS") returns for the fourth consecutive year to the golden sands of the legendary Pampelonne Beach, located on the Saint-Tropez peninsula, a favorite spot for international jet-setters.
Pampelonne beach, with its turquoise water and its beautiful Mediterranean vegetation, is the ideal setting for an event which combines sport performances and elegance in a festive atmosphere.
Mixing glamour and top-level sport, the event will take place a few steps from the sea, at the back of the beach, shaded by pines, in an area that has been set up for the occasion. Main arena for the competitions, practice paddock, horse stalls, VIP area, restaurants, bars and many luxury boutiques: Longines, Dolce&Gabbana, Bentley, Hermes Sellier and Champagne Henriot will light up one of the most exclusive Village ever seen.
This new edition will feature two different competitions organized in the same place, the CSI5* and the CSI1*, for a total of € 549,000 in prize money. The world's best athletes and horses will compete in the 4 classes of the CSI5*, all valid for the Longines ranking, including the Longines Grand Prix with € 300,000 in prize money. The 9 classes of the CSI1* will be reserved to amateur riders with competitions starting from 1,15 mt to 1,40 mt. Many riders at the top of the Longines World Ranking have already confirmed their participation.
