The CSI5* program this year will include six, top-level ranking classes, including two rounds of thrilling GCL team competition, and culminating with the coveted LGCT Grand Prix of Saint-Tropez, Ramatuelle on Saturday afternoon. Also featured on the schedule are a wide range of CSI2* classes dedicated to riders of all ages. A total of €600,000 in prize money will be on offer throughout the weekend and that’s not all.

For the first time in 2022, the Longines Athina Onassis Horse Show will also host a special CSI2* challenge in partnership with Cavalleria Toscana’s new CT Academy. With valuable points up for grabs during three days of CSI2* competition, the top three riders at the 1.15m, 1.25m, and 1.40m levels will be awarded special prizes from CT Academy at the close of the weekend. In addition, CT Academy’s professional sports team which includes experts in nutrition, physiotherapy, and personal training will be on-hand throughout the event, offering services for LAOHS competitors and highlighting their new program for supporting the "whole rider," in and out of the saddle.

In addition to the action inside the arena, attendees will benefit from Ramatuelle’s postcard-worthy scenery, delicious ring-side dining and refreshment, and a renewed configuration of the LAOHS shopping village. Among the highlights: Saint Tropez-style "after-party" events at the close of each competition day, featuring International DJs and exciting live performances. Plus, a redesigned village layout showcasing the best luxury and equestrian boutiques, all surrounding a new, atmospheric "Piazza," with its central champagne meeting bar open from sunrise to sunset.
