Unwrap the Excitement: Relive Show Jumping’s Greatest Moments on GCTV This Festive Season

With the festive season in full swing and the world temporarily slowing down, there’s no better time to indulge in the sport that never fails to thrill — show jumping. GCTV invites you to press pause on the holiday bustle and step into a world of high-stakes competition, heart-stopping performances, and untold stories of grit and glory.

With full-season replays, unforgettable moments, and exclusive behind-the-scenes documentaries, GCTV is your front-row seat to the 2024 Longines Global Champions Tour (LGCT) and GCL season — plus iconic moments from previous years. It’s more than just sport; it’s storytelling at its most gripping.

Champions Crowned, Legends Made

Few moments in sport can match the raw emotion of Riyadh’s GC Playoffs, where the Stockholm Hearts powered by H&M We Love Horses took center stage. As the pressure mounted, their precision never wavered. Victory in the $6.5 million GCL Super Cup Final wasn’t just a win — it was a statement of excellence, determination, and team unity.

On that same fabled stage, Victor Bettendorf and Foxy de la Roque delivered a performance for the ages in the Longines Global Champions Tour Super Grand Prix. Their breathtaking display of power and precision became the story everyone was talking about. No script could have captured the suspense, but GCTV allows you to relive every moment as if you were there.

The season wasn’t short of champions, and Max Kühner’s crowning as the 2024 LGCT Champion was a fitting climax to a year of relentless pursuit. Consistency, courage, and strategy were his tools of choice, and his rise to the top was a masterclass in how to conquer a season-long battle.

The team competition also reached new heights as the Cannes Stars powered by Iron Dames claimed the GCL Championship title. It was a season-long campaign of grit and strategy, with the Iron Dames imprinting their legacy on a season that saw heroes rise and rivals fall.

And while new champions were being crowned, a rising star was quietly claiming his place at the top. Ermitage Kalone captivated audiences with each performance, climbing to new heights and announcing himself as one of the most exciting horses to watch.

Of course, no story of the 2024 season would be complete without a nod to the triumphant return to Shanghai. After a five-year absence, the Longines Global Champions Tour was back at the prestigious Shanghai Juss Equestrian Centre, a moment marked by spectacle, pageantry, and a reminder of why this venue remains one of the sport’s most iconic stops.

Beyond the Arena: The Stories Behind the Scenes

The festive period isn’t just a chance to watch history unfold; it’s an opportunity to see the human stories behind the champions. GCTV’s exclusive documentaries peel back the curtain on the pressures, passion, and perseverance that define the sport.

Chasing the Dream takes you deep into the lives of rising stars like Michael Pender, Jack Whitaker, and Gilles Thomas. Their journey is a raw and unfiltered look at what it takes to make it in one of the world’s most elite sporting arenas. Youth, ambition, and unshakable belief collide as they chase not just victory but legacy.

Meanwhile, Pursuit of Greatness offers an intimate portrait of Peder Fredricson, the man who redefined modern show jumping. It’s a rare glimpse into his psyche — a story of precision, patience, and relentless pursuit of perfection. As you watch, you’ll discover that greatness isn’t accidental; it’s the result of a mindset built on discipline, heart, and focus.
