IRISH riders Bertram Allen, Cian O’Connor and Denis Lynch were all in the prizes last week at the historic Longines Global Champions Tour of Cairo, where the world’s leading show jumping riders competed in front of the Pyramids of Giza, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.

Founded by Qatar’s Years of Culture initiative, the historic Cairo debut brought together elite international sport, cultural exchange and Egyptian heritage in a celebration unlike anything previously seen on the Longines Global Champions Tour.
