Jumping Indoor Maastricht in the MECC in Maastricht presents a very good line-up for the jumping competitions with great champions, but also the names of their possible successors. All these talented young riders are the children of well-known riders. The second generation is rising!

Three members of the Dutch team that competed at the WC, EC and Olympic Games will be present at Jumping Indoor Maastricht: Jeroen Dubbeldam and his super crack SFN Zenith N.O.P. , Maikel van der Vleuten, who won the Longines Trophy – Grand Prix of Maastricht in 2013 and 2014 and Jur Vrieling. These three top riders will be joined by, amongst others, current Dutch Champion Frank Schuttert, Wout-Jan van der Schans and VDL rider Leopold van Asten.

Germany’s Hans Dieter Dreher, last year’s Longines Trophy winner, will again travel to the MECC together with his compatriots Markus Beerbaum, winner of the Grand Prix in Maastricht in 1998, and Holger Hetzel.

Current leader in the World Cup standings, Switzerland’s Romain Duguet, will also be at JIM. The 36-year-old rider from Gümligen won the bronze team medal at the 2015 European Championships in Aachen. National Champion and second in the World Cup standings, Pieter Devos, will defend the Belgium flag.
No less than five riders will represent the USA, lead by Reed Kessler. The 22-year-old rider runs Kessler Show Stables which is has three locations: Lexington, KY, Wellington, FL and Guttecoven in the province of Limburg, the Netherland. For her it is a bit of a ‘home’ competition.
