The event is well known for hosting the World Cup for show-jumping and dressage in combination with shows and entertainment. The show-jumping includes the 5* CSI World Cup alongside national classes, as well for dressage which includes the CDI World Cup. The program also includes national dressage for the youth and upcoming dressage horses in small tour and para-equestrian. Also the World Cup Driving was part of the program in the past. On Sunday morning the event hosts the 'Children's morning', with games and activities for the younger generation.[2] Jumping Amsterdam is seen as one of the highest ranked indoor equestrian events in the world, recognized by the International Federation for Equestrian Sports.[3]

The event is always eagerly attended by members of the Dutch royal family and several Dutch celebrities.[2]

History

edit
 
Jumping Amsterdam in 1964

The first edition of Jumping Amsterdam was in 1958 in the former RAI building. Initiator Ben Arts wanted to create a big equestrian event in the capital of The Netherlands and created the Jumping Amsterdam horse show. Nevertheless, Arts did not immediately succeed in convincing everyone, including Freddy Heineken to sponsor and Prince Bernhard of Lippe-Biesterfeld to be the patron of the event. The first edition was yet to be held in 1958 and immediately resulted in a successful event. In 1961 a new hall of RAI Amsterdam was built, the show moved to the new exhibition complex at Europaplein which resulted in a bigger event with more riders and spectators.[4] In the mid 80's dressage was included in the program and became part of the World Cup in 1989. In 1994 the event expanded with an extra competition arena in the second 'Zuidhal', which made it possible for the organization to add more competitions and to welcome more spectators. In 2006 Jumping Amsterdam hosted the World Cup Finals for dressage, which was won by Dutch Olympic champion Anky van Grunsven.[5][6]

Because of the Covid-19 pandemic the event was cancelled in 2021 and 2022.[7] Also in 2002 and 2003 the event could not take place because of financial problems.

Winners

The list of winners names the winner of the Grand Prix of Amsterdam in show-jumping and not the winner of World Cup qualifier in show-jumping.

The World Cup for show-jumping returned in 2019.[8] The Grand Prix Dressage has been part of the program since 1989 and became part of the World Cup circuit the same year. In 2007 the event was part of the Driving World Cup circuit for only one year and was won by Dutch IJsbrand Chardon.
