Summer competition kicks off this week for the X-Bionic Summer Tour CSI4* in Šamorín, Slovakia at the state of the art X-Bionic Sphere sporting facility.
€700,000 in prize money and 13 ranking classes will be on offer during the X-BIONIC® SUMMER TOUR, from July 20-30, 2017. At the end of August, the CSIO3* of Slovakia returns; the X-BIONIC® INDOOR MASTER CSI4* is slated for November. In 2018, both the X-BIONIC® SUMMER TOUR and X-BIONIC® INDOOR MASTER will be rated CSI5*.
It bills itself as “Europe’s biggest and modern sports centre”, and with eight arenas—three grass, three sand, two indoors—and an oversize galloping track nearly two kilometers around, permanent stabling, interlocking rubber pathways for horse comfort, and full human amenities that include a 300-room hotel, that definition certainly seems apt.
See below for the full CSI4* riders list. CSI1*, CSI2*, and CSIYH1* divisions are also offered.
