of New York on Sunday, April 28. Last year, New York’s own
McLain Ward, a two-time team gold-medalist for the USA,
won the class on Clinta. It was Clinta’s first headliner win
with Ward, as their partnership was new at that point. But
the gray mare would go on to help the U.S. team win gold
at the 2018 FEI World Equestrian Games and become a
superstar.
Some of the top U.S. riders are scheduled to compete
at LMNY, including Ward, New York City’s own Georgina
Bloomberg, Olympic team gold medalist Beezie Madden,
and more. Top-ranked counterparts from Europe will
join them in the quest to win the Longines Grand Prix of
New York. There’s a stunning incentive to win the Longines
Grand Prixs at each of the series stops—a Grand Slam of
Indoor Show Jumping Bonus of €1,000,000 for winning three
grand prix classes consecutively in the Longines Masters series
of Paris, Hong Kong, and New York from one season to
the next. If a rider wins all three Longines Grand Prix events
in one season, they’ll earn a €2,250,000 bonus!
• The show isn’t just a horse show—it’s an experience full of
entertainment, art, fine dining, and family fun. “They’re really
making this an entertainment spectacle, which is phenomenal,”
said McLain Ward. “It’s something that’s been
missing in promoting our sport; making it more exciting to a
more diverse audience.”
• The Prestige Village at LMNY provides something for
everyone, with some of the world’s finest luxury brands and
equestrian retailers making it a fantastic shopping destination.
Chic equestrian fashion, gorgeous contemporary art,
and top-of-the-line equestrian goods will satisfy all tastes.
