Season 5 has delivered some of the strongest competition
Major League Show Jumping has seen to date, with world-class athletes rising to the occasion leg after leg. As The League leaders, Maccabi United have set the standard, and much of that success has been driven by one standout performer: Daniel Bluman.
Bluman has been a model of consistency this season, separating himself as the only rider to jump clear in all seven MLSJ 5* Grand Prix events.
Aboard his top mount Corbie V.V., he made an early statement by capturing the Leg 2 5* Grand Prix in Toronto, setting the tone for a dominant campaign. Currently ranked 18th in the Longines FEI World Rankings, Bluman has played a key role in Maccabi United’s run atop the standings, helping the team secure four 5* Team Competition podiums, including victories in Toronto and at the Coachella Cup.
Individually, Bluman also opened Season 5 with a win in the 5* ClipMyHorse Qualifier, reinforcing his presence across every major class.
Whether in Grand Prix or team competition, his consistency and execution have made him a cornerstone of Maccabi United’s success and one of the most reliable riders on the MLSJ circuit this season.
