The Global Champions League kicked off this past weekend in beautiful Mexico City. With 16 stops at gorgeous destinations, the Global Champions League is a must watch event for show jumping lovers worldwide. If this is your first season following along with the GCL, never fear!

Day two opened up with several teams hungry to earn their spot on the podium that day.

You can bet each team will come back hungrier than ever for the 2nd stop of the tour in Miami Beach, April 5-7 2018. The top three are just points away from an upset and with 15 stops left in the tour, there is still plenty of time for another team to swoop in and steal the throne.
