SWITZERLAND’s Steve Guerdat returns to defend his European show jumping title when the Longines FEI Jumping European Championships 2025 get underway at Casas Novas in A Coruña, Spain next Wednesday. Fresh from an Aachen Grand Prix win last Sunday, Guerdat’s teammate Martin Fuchs bolsters a somewhat struggling Swiss side in hope of European glory, but they certainly won’t have it all their own way.

Kicking off on Wednesday, July 16th, 23 nations will be represented at the championships which return to Spain for just the third time in its 68-year history – 18 teams and five more countries represented by individuals; 92 athletes in total. Spain previously hosted the senior Europeans in 1993 (Gijón) and 2011 (Madrid).
