International Riding Tournament
Ballerinas aren’t the only ones who regale audiences with jumps, pirouettes and other fancy footwork. From November 30 to December 3 in Olympiahalle, Europe’s greatest equine artists will perform such feats in competition for the € 900,000 prize of the Munich Indoor International Riding Tournament. Five-time Olympic gold medal winner Ludger Beerbaum, rising star Rodrigo Pessoa and recent riding World Cup winner Meredith Michaels-Beerbaum are just a few of the many superstars expected to compete in this final stage of the Riders’ Tour series. A huge market will run in conjunction with the tournament, giving visitors ample time to purchase Christmas gifts for their own equestrian enthusiasts. Tickets for various show times cost € 7–39, and are available at VVK outlets. <<<
