The 2017 edition of the
wonderful Italian show is scheduled from the 6th to the 9th of July, featuring
CSI4* and CSI1* shows.
Following the great success
of the first edition, Selva di Val Gardena will once again welcome the
Dolomites Horse Show, a sporting event of the highest caliber, which attracts
the very best of international show jumping to its unique setting.
The show is scheduled from the 6th to the 9th of
July, and during the four days of
competitions, amazing horses will take the field with their riders in this
suggestive location that has no equals in the
world. Indeed, the event, which is supported by Val Gardena and Südtirol, will take place in the
wonderful Vallunga, a UNESCO natural
heritage, and perfect scenery for a show that brings together sport and
elegance. In the heart of the North-Western Dolomites, between the Massiccio
del Sella, Passo Sella, Passo Gardena and Ponte Gardena, Val Gardena attracts
tourists and mountaineers from all over the world.
What better place then to take
international show jumping? The feedback from the audience and insiders has
been overwhelming, and has convinced Alex
Delazer, an International rider himself and creator of the event, that his
idea was a winning one. The first
edition of the Dolomites Horse Show has entered the rich history of sports of SouthTyrol. After the legendary Ski World Cup,
the ATP Tennis Challenger and the Südtirol Dolomites HERO, Val Gardena has in
fact become part of the exclusive locations hosting the most prestigious horse
shows. This year, the CSI3*, heart of the show, has been replaced by a CSI4*,
thereby raising the technical level of the show. With this quality leap, the
already significant amount of prize
money has been increased, reaching a total of 250,000 euros.
The best horses and riders in
the world will meet in Selva di Val Gardena to compete in five classes, which
are all valid for the Longines World Ranking List. The most anticipated moment
will for sure be the Grand Prix, which will see the best 30 riders of the world
Ranking List take the field, and which will conclude the event. Next to the
CSI4* show, the second edition of the Dolomites Horse Show will also host a
CSI1* show, reserved for amateurs and the young promising riders of this sport,
which will allow its participants to ride next to the great riders.
Show Jumping is a sport that
brings with it the beau monde and Val Gardena is ready to welcome it appropriately:
the VIP area, with a fantastic view over the main arena, offers an
all-inclusive service with menus created by the best Italian chefs, accompanied
by a selection of fine wines, champagne, and cocktails.
The event will be covered
extensively by the media, and also be live on TV thanks
to partnerships with national television, Eurosport, Class Horse Tv and Horse
& Country. This media coverage will offer the show the opportunity to enter
more than 100 million homes, speaking twenty different languages. During the
first edition, the Dolomites Horse Show has been followed by the whole world
with a tremendous amount of interest: more than 20,000 connections have been
registered during the live streaming and numerous were those who watched the
Grand Prix on Sky.
