Longines FEI Jumping Nations Cup, one of the most important equestrian events on the international agenda, will take place from April 27 to 30 in San Miguel de Allende, Guanajuato.

Daniela García assured that this competition is the oldest and most prestigious of the International Equestrian Federation, since it has been held for more than 100 years. “There are countries that have 106 years organizing this contest. It is the only one where the teams participate in this way, 4 riders from each country come together and they do it by nationality in search of being the best of the year, “he said.

Juan Manuel Cossio Vásquez del Mercado, president of the Mexican Equestrian Federation, spoke about the change of venue now in San Miguel de Allende, Guanajuato. “It is a pride that in Mexico they take these events. This cup was held for the first time in Mexico in 2014 in Coapexpan, Xalapa, thanks to the hospitality of the Chedraui family; for seven occasions we were there and now that we are in San Miguel de Allende we confirm that it has many characteristics that we are looking for, both for the facilities and for what the colonial city offers, to show abroad what Mexico is.”

Daniel Riham Salum, president of the organizing committee, explained the importance of holding the meeting in San Miguel de Allende, Guanajuato. “This is one of the most prestigious events in the world. Having the Longines FEI Nations Cup in Otomí Residencial Hípico and in San Miguel de Allende is a pride, because it is a spectacular place, considered one of the most beautiful cities in the world, which stands out for its gastronomy, its hotels and the way it receives people, which has made this event five stars and one of the best in the world”.

The cup is a family meeting, as Rafael David Faes, administrative manager of the Mexican Equestrian Federation, said, since they are open to the interaction of children, beginner riders, who have a long career, youth and amateur, with tests of lower category to those of the grand prize, maintaining a first level standard throughout the contest.
