The Gaston Glock’s Grand Prix Magna Racino as sport highlight at the spring festival

Meticulous planning, with passion and perfection going into every detail - this is the credo of the Gaston and Kathrin Glock family.  As a contribution to outstanding equestrian sport events, since 2013, some select guest performances are offered outside the GHPC in Treffen, which are known as the Gaston Glock’s Championates. Gaston Glock, founder of GLOCK HORSE PERFORMANCE CENTER Austria and The Netherlands, is now expanding his commitment to equestrian sport: for 2015, the Gaston and Kathrin Glock family have taken over patronage of four Gaston Glock’s Grands Prix outside the GHPC.

Premiere in Graz, 2nd stop at Magna Racino.
 “The Name Glock stands for the perfection, which we also implement in equestrian sport. With the Gaston Glock’s Grands Prix, we want to support Austrian equestrian sport in the context of a long-term promotion”, says GHPC managing director Kathrin Glock.

Thus for the first time now in 2015, hand-picked Gaston Glock’s Grands Prix can be experienced at select places in Austria for special equestrian events outside the GHPC in Treffen. Included among them is the Magna Racino Spring Event, in the context of which, on Whit Monday May 25th from 12:00 pm, the Gaston Glock’s Grand Prix Magna Racino will be taking place.

Perfection meets equestrian sport
In 2015, after Graz, the Gaston Glock’s Grand Prix will also go to Magna Racino, Vienna and to Salzburg. At all venues, they are a true paradise for horses, riders and guests, albeit a paradise for a limited period. And to this end, precisely for the duration of the Gaston Glock’s Grand Prix, a GLOCK world of its own is created.

The show jumping course consists of specially designed GLOCK obstacles, decorated with beautiful, typically GLOCK-style flowers. The GLOCK cups for the top-three-ranking riders in this Grand Prix are specially made, while seeded riders will receive GLOCK sashes and GLOCK gifts.

The GLOCK music for the prize ceremony was composed by famous Dutch composer Joost Peters, while the award ceremony for the winner and seeded riders will be presented by Austrian television star Christian Clerici.
