For the seventh year, Mexico organized the Global Champions Tour, considered a five-star event in the international equestrian world, which was held at the Campo Militar Marte in the country's capital, an ideal place to hold this event, according to Juan Manuel Cossio, president of the Mexican Equestrian Federation (FEM).
“To create an event of this magnitude only the Campo Militar Marte lends itself, since it has the stables, paddocks, office and stands, also the important thing is the spaciousness of the terrain, every year it has been cataloged as the best date of the series and this year we are going to improve it by far,” said the leader.
