Edwina and Inca Boy head towards the lights of Hamburg this weekend
A heavyweight line up of the stars of jumping will head to Hamburg this week as the Championship temperature hots up for the fifth leg of the Longines Global Champions Tour 2018 circuit from 10th -12th May.
Australia’s Edwina Tops-Alexander will be once again riding the 9 year old gelding Inca Boy van’t Vianahof, a horse that captured our imagination and hearts in Shanghai. Edwina has already qualified for the Longines Global Champions Super Grand Prix (to be held in Prague in December) with her win in Miami, but with eleven more places available in the ultimate showdown in jumping, this fifth stop on the 13th season of the LGCT is sure to be a thriller.
