European Summer Tour
A training travel experience like nothing back home.
The European Summer Tour is Pinnacle's premier training experience — a chance to leave the Arizona arena behind and immerse yourself in the heart of European show jumping.
This isn't a competition circuit. It's a curated week of expert coaching, unfamiliar footing, and world-class inspiration, designed to bring skills home that no local clinic can teach.
Riders of every level — hunter, jumper, or equitation — train side by side, push their comfort zones together, and come home changed.
Ten days. Two countries. One transformed group.
Our 2026 group spent ten days moving between two of Europe's most storied riding regions. The trip opened in Paris, based in the 7th arrondissement steps from the Eiffel Tower, before the group headed to Grossteinhausen, Germany for five full days of training at the Hauter Horses facility — mornings in the irons, afternoons free to explore the Saarland countryside from a private country-estate hotel.
A visit to the medieval Trifels Castle broke up the training week with a dose of history. The tour closed back in Paris with two days at the Longines Global Champions Tour, watching the world's top-ranked riders compete at the highest level the sport offers — before the group toasted an unforgettable week together and headed home to Arizona.
Space on EST is limited by design — this is a small-group experience, not a mass tour.
