January marks the only Longines FEI World Cup™ North American League event held on Mexican soil, at the Guadalajara Country Club during the Triple Copa Scappino, presented by Audi, in Jalisco, Mexico, January 26–29, 2017.  The $100,0000 CSI4*-W Longines FEI World Cup™ Jumping Guadalajara is among the final chances for North American riders to earn qualifying points towards the Longines FEI World Cup™ Jumping Final, to be held March 29-April 2 in Omaha, Nebraska.
 

It was only recently, in 2016, that the Longines FEI World Cup™ North American League extended to Mexico for the very first time, at the Valle de Bravo venue outside of Mexico City. The Guadalajara Country Club, where riders will now gather for this year’s edition, is the site of the 2011 Pan American Games and lies near the center of the city of Guadalajara, and anticipation is high for the return of international show jumping to the region. The FEI Children’s International Classics Final is also slated to take place.
 

The event will be a showcase of talent from Latin America, and among the riders list is Juan Manuel Luzardo of Uruguay. Luzardo, who won the 2016 Longines FEI World Cup™ Jumping at Valle De Bravo, lives and trains in Guadalajara, giving him the hometown motivation to put in another winning performance.
