The first Vimeiro Jumping Show was in 1979. With few interruptions it was in 2002 that the quality of these competitions under went a major evolution. It was the first time that an International Show was organized and it was well accepted by everyone, especially the riders. This model is repeated in 2003 and in 2004, 2 International Shows are organised, one in the 2 star category and another in the 3 star category.
This strategy resulted very well and it was not possible to accept the 320 entries received from 16 countries. In 2004, it was also organised the National Youth Championship and the Portuguese Obstacle Riders Championship.
In 2005, this model was repeated and so was the success. More than 400 entries were the result of the dynamic undertaking which will bring to Vimeiro in the near future the presence of the best ranked riders of the world.
