Dear Guests, dear Equestrian Friends,
We have invited you for a double celebration. It is a great pleasure for us that the best equestrian athletes of the region participate in the Longines EEF Series Semi Final Budapest CSIO***-W.
Holidays are not made only by special indications in our calendars. These and similar events, joyful encounters of friends make them unique and memorable.
CSIO competitions in Hungary became already a tradition – attracting the attention of the equestrian professionals and wider public alike. The outstanding number of competitors and the huge interest generated by the event suggests that riding at CSIO Budapest is a prestige. This prestigious event strengthens the social recognition of equestrian sports. I would like to hope that this prominent competition of our geographic region and the hard challenge brings Hungarian show jumping closer to the European lead.
The competition series was interrupted last year due to the covid pandemic, but this year we can support the Hungarian national showjumping team riders with renewed enthusiasm and desire for success in the Nations Cup and Sunday’s Grand Prix.
Dear Guests, thank you for accepting our invitation. Have a great time.
I wish good luck to the competitors, good work to the judges and an enjoyable time to the spectators.
Vilmos LÁZÁR
President of the Hungarian Equestrian Federation
