After its first edition in 2006, the “Jumping International de Monte-Carlo” has made its mark on the Principality of Monaco’s “Port Hercule”.

Facing the sea and below the “Rocher” and the Prince’s Palace of Monaco, the infrastructures of this international show-jumping event succeed those set up for Monaco’s Formula 1 race, to the delight of spectators, the media and to all those who love this sport.

Man’s best partner can then be seen in a truly exceptional location, next to some of the world’s most beautiful yachts. Each new edition of the competition

consolidates its status as one of Monaco’s world-class sporting events on a par with the “Grand Prix” and the Monte-Carlo Tennis Masters Series.

After quickly becoming a must stop on the international show-jumping tour, the Monaco competition has both surprised and enthralled spectators by bringing them the world’s top 50 riders who take part in high level show-jumping events.

This, together with first-class facilities, a prestigious location and a warm welcome, ensures that spectators are witnesses to an unforgettable event.

Diane Fissore-Wathelet, President of the “Jumping International de Monte-Carlo” will combine her organisational know-how with the skills of the great and emblematic rider, Jan Tops.

Jan Tops, gold medal at the 1992 Barcelona Olympic Games, was for years one of the “FEI Ranking List” top ten riders. Known as an excellent discoverer of ”horse-talent” he is leader in the horse-trading world.

Jan Tops is also organizer of the “5 rated stars Jumping of Monte-Carlo and Valkenswaard.”
