The Thomas and Mack Arena in Las Vegas is home to the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo, but every second year for the past decade it has also hosted the jumping and dressage World Cups.

The Rolex FEI World Cup Jumping and Dressage Finals was held in Vegas during the second weekend in April. The event attracts riders from all over the world who qualified, including the reigning “queen of dressage,” Anky van Grunsven. Van Grunsven has won the gold medal for the past three Olympics, and has won World Cup prizes nine out of the last 14 competitions.

In the jumping, the American team is quite strong this year, with Olympic team members McClain Ward and Beezie Madden as well as veteran competitor Todd Minikus as part of the team.

This will be the last time, for the foreseeable future, that the event will be held in the United States. Future events are scheduled for locations in Europe.
