Luhmühlen Horse Trials cancelled for 2020
Luhmühlen Horse Trials joins a long list of equestrian events to be cancelled as a result of the coronavirus pandemic.
The decision on Luhmühlen came after the German government’s decision to ban large-scale gatherings until 24 October.
The event release the following statement:
“After the German government has announced new restrictions on April 15th, 2020, we have considered several options but unfortunately now have to cancel the Longines Luhmühlen Horse Trials from June 18th – 21st, 2020”, explains event director Julia Otto.
“We would like to thank all those involved, who have worked closely with us over the past few weeks to explore possible further scenarios. We look forward to the planning phase of the Longines Luhmühlen Horse Trials next year (June 17th – 20th, 2021). With all of our best wishes from Luhmühlen: Stay safe and we hope to see you all again in 2021!”
Already purchased tickets are still valid for the Longines Luhmühlen Horse Trials 17th to 20th 2021.
The loss of Luhmühlen, and also Adelaide, means that Burghley (2-6 September), the new Maryland Five-Star at Fair Hill in the USA (15-18 October) and the French five-star at Pau (21-25 October) will be the only five-star eventing competitions still due to run this year.
