Monte-Carlo Show Jumping
The Monte-Carlo Show Jumping consists of a series of jumps in an obstacle course on the Quai Albert 1er. The Jumping International of Monte-Carlo, one of the main trials in the Longines Global Champions Tour since its creation in 2006, is a horse jumping event unlike any other — taking place on the waterfront beneath the celebrated Rocher des Princes de Monaco.
The setting up of an entire equestrian event in the middle of a busy harbour is a formidable challenge. The waterfront is transformed into a luxurious equine venue, requiring the hauling in of vast quantities of specialised sand for the competition surface and the transformation of the dock into elegant stabling.
The competition brings together professional and amateur riders from around the world in a highly competitive yet convivial event that has the entire audience on its feet.
