Friday, 22 March 2013 CDI4* CDI3* CDIU25 GHPCShow time for dressage international
At last the outdoor season is starting again and the merry month of May will see the GLOCK HORSE PERFORMANCE CENTER at its best for the Dressage International from 16 to 19 May 2013.
The grounds are ready, the prize money is waiting and the date at Whitsun is simply ideal. Not only is the GLOCK HORSE PERFORMANCE CENTER hosting the CDI4* CDI3* but also CDIU25, attracting young international riders this year for the first time.
Great prize money
A total of €278,000 in prize money will be up for grabs at the GHPC, with the CDI4* accounting for €175,000, the CDI3* €93,000 and the CDIU25 €10,000, making sure the under 25-year-olds are not left out in the cold. The highlights will be the two three and four-star Freestyles where the winners will take home €40,000 (CDI3*) and €75,000, and the Grand Prix Special at the CDI4*, the world’s most difficult dressage test worth an amazing €50,000.
Plenty of space for the sport
A wonderful sand/fleece footing in the 60 x 90 metre dressage arena awaits the international stars and warm-up facilities include a 25 x 75 m outdoor and a 20 x 60 m indoor arena. Horses and riders can move around the grounds on red carpet without danger of slipping. The stables are roomy and all have slip-resistant mats on the floor.
Perfection and design meet equestrian sport
The credo at GLOCK, which applies to events and horses alike, is perfect planning and attention to detail. It therefore comes as no surprise that founder and owner Gaston Glock provides excellent facilities for riders and mounts at the GLOCK HORSE PERFORMANCE CENTER Austria and the Netherlands and promotes equestrian sport as a whole.
Competitors and spectators will not only be treated to top-class sport but also a truly magical experience at the facility for whole four days: breathtaking design in the Riders Lounge, exquisite catering from Do & Co, amazing live acts by the show stars and generous donations to people and animals in need.
Riders Lounge – a class of its own
Admission to the GLOCK hospitality area is free of charge for riders and four of their guests on all four days in return for a donation of €60/lanyard to the Carinthians in Need charity. Gaston and Kathrin Glock are extending this generous invitation to their guests for the ninth time now. In addition to exclusive catering, the Spa Lounge, Cineplexx Lounge and Lexus shuttle service, visitors can again look forward to international entertainment at a very special venue.
Access to the exclusive area costs €200 per lanyard for day visitors. Please note: the number of tickets is limited!
