Traverse City sets the stage for the opening Grand Prix of the 2025/26 Major League Show Jumping season—one class, one winner, and a statement that will carry through the months ahead.

The track will demand it all—precision, power, strategy, and speed—delivered under the highest pressure. With a field stacked with former champions, rising talent, and proven combinations, the margin for error is zero.

What’s in Play

The Field: Grand Prix winners, breakthrough contenders, and pairings built for pressure moments.

The Course: Forward distances, scope-testing efforts, and combinations that punish the smallest lapse. Heights up to 1.60m (5’3”), every jump a question that must be answered perfectly.

The Atmosphere: Traverse City’s crowd and energy can elevate a round to brilliance—or expose the slightest crack in a plan.

Why It Matters

The first Grand Prix win of the season means more than points—it’s momentum, confidence, and an early grip on the leaderboard. It’s the tone-setter for the campaign and a message to the rest of the field.
