International Jumping Competition in Barcelona

Spread the love

I am highly looking forward to covering this year’s International Jumping Competition in Barcelona. This year will mark the organizations 107th show, with patrons flocking from all over the world to watch the incredible horsemanship and incredible feats.

I’ve been involved with horses most of my life, but this is truly a very special event, International Jumping Competition. Covering this event previously was my first time in Barcelona, where I was hosted by Jose “Felix” Bentz, a very influential and prominent man in Spain. His exhibits and offices are located in the El Reial Cercle Artistic Institut Barcelona.
