A star-studded list of horses and riders are heading to the South Point Arena & Equestrian Center to try their luck at The Las Vegas National, CSI4*-W, November 13–18, 2018.
Among the many talented athletes is the current Longines FEI Jumping World Cup™ North American East Coast Sub-League Leader Molly Ashe Cawley, Olympic gold medalist Will Simpson, 2017 Longines FEI Jumping World Cup™ Vegas winner Richard Spooner and Karl Cook, who looks to return to Gothenburg for another Longines FEI Jumping World Cup™ Finals. He finished 11th there in 2013.
Fresh off a victory in last weekend’s World Cup qualifier at Thermal is Nayel Nassar (a U.S.-based rider who competes for Egypt) and his longtime partner Lordan. The pair are slated to take a crack at this weekend’s World Cup class.

You don’t want to miss this chance to see them shine on Saturday, November 17th, in the $135,000 Longines FEI Jumping World Cup™ Las Vegas, presented by Walter Oil & Gas Corporation.
Last World Cup Qualifier on West Coast
Saturday’s World Cup class will be the final NAL qualifier on the West Coast of the United States. Two more qualifiers will take place in Mexico early next year, as will the last two qualifiers for the East Coast contingent. This means riders only have a few events left to earn valuable points to qualify for a trip to the Longines FEI Jumping World Cup™ Final in Gothenburg next spring.
