The CSI5* Longines Global Champions Tour of Madrid, scheduled from May 15 to 17 at the Club de Campo Villa de Madrid, has been postponed. 

A statement from the organisers reads:

"In accordance with the health crisis that we are experiencing worldwide and following the instructions of the Government of Spain and the Ministry of Health, the Club de Campo Villa de Madrid and Oxer Sport, we have decided to postpone the 110th edition of the International Show Jumping Competition Madrid scheduled from May 15 to 17 and belonging to the Longines Global Champions Tour.

In coordination with the tour, we have requested new dates from the Royal Spanish Equestrian Federation and the International Equestrian Federation (FEI). Both federations are working against the clock to reorganize the 2020 calendar and we hope to have official confirmation of the new date in the coming weeks.

For CCVM and Oxer Sport the most important thing now is to guarantee the health of athletes, horses, workers, the public and people related to the event. However, we will continue working to ensure the celebration of the best and longest-running international competition in Madrid."

In Poland, the organising committee of CSI4* 4FOULEE Poznań 2020 has decided to cancel this year’s edition of the event that was due to take place from the 4th until the 7th of June. "This decision is extremely hard for us, but in the face of the current situation and a lack of optimistic prognoses we feel that it’s the right thing to do," reads a statement from the organisers. "4FOULEE is an international event, where every year we welcome athletes from over 20 countries. 4FOULEE concentrates not only on the sport aspect of the event, but also presents a variety of attractions for families. In the current situation we have to take care of the health of all participants, bearing in mind that our partners are now facing challenges more important than sport and entertainment. We believe that the situation will improve, and we will be able to start preparations for 4FOULEE 2021, to which we invite all of you today."

In the US, the CSI4* Devon Horse Show has been cancelled. "It is with deep disappointment that the Devon Horse Show and Country Fair (DHSCF) must announce the cancellation of the 124th DHSCF scheduled for May 21-31, 2020," reads a statement from the organisers.
