Bold and Beautiful: The Luhmühlen CCI5* Cross-Country Course Gallery

3-2-1 – let’s go!

It’s very nearly cross-country day at the Longines Luhmühlen Horse Trials, and once again, course designer Mike Etherington-Smith has built two beautiful, horse-friendly, technical courses that are just as useful at developing inexperienced talent as they are at testing the top guns.

And that’s exactly what they’ll need to do tomorrow: in the CCI4*-S, the stage is set for a (quite literal) Olympic battle, as the titans of the sport from a wide array of nations make their final bids for selection, while the five-star is, well, a five-star. Want a glimpse of what the feature CCI5* class will face from 8.45 a.m. (7.45 a.m. BST/2.45 a.m. EST) tomorrow morning? Take a walk through the woods with our full gallery:
