This Event also finds its Origins from a Desire to revive a Special Relationship. The Appearance of the Horse in the Daily Life of Man dates back beyond recorded History.

The Longines Global Champions Tour (LGCT) is an Annual Show Jumping Series that comprises up to 15 Rounds of Competition hosted around the World. It brings together the top 30 Riders in the FEI Jumping World Rankings. It was founded in 2006 by the Olympic Gold Medalist Jan Tops. Since 2007, all LGCT Events have been held as CSI 5*, which means that under FEI Rules they are Championship-Level Events. The LGCT Classes are run under FEI Rules but the Governing Body has no part in the Organisation of the Series, aside from ratifying the Schedule. The LGCT is not an FEI Series like the World Cup or the Nations Cup Competitions.

The Longines Global Champions Tour kicks off its 14th Season in the spectacular Destination of Doha, with the Introduction of St Tropez and the Addition of the magical City of Prague to the Star-Studded 2019 Calendar. The Championship spans three Continents and takes in the World's Great Cities including Paris, Monaco, Madrid, Miami Beach, Shanghai, Rome and Doha, Qatar. Spectacular world Class Sport and Entertainment across 20 International Events.
