The notoriously exclusive Treffen CSI5* at Glock Horse Performance Center in Austria gets underway this week with a starry list of top international riders set to compete, as well as a full roster of lucky CSI1* and CSI2* competitors. While the competition inside the arena is fierce, it’s always the events outside and post show time that attract the most attention, from the event’s over the top lavish VIP offerings, to its surprise celebrity performers flown in for nightly concerts.
While outside media is generally not allowed access to what can safely be called the world’s most exclusive international show jumping event, it’s possible to follow the results via the event website. Last year’s grand prix winner Christian Ahlmann will be in attendance to defend his title, as will seven other Olympic veterans.
