Longines Masters L.A. Gala
By Staff Report October 2, 2015Over 850 guests attended the opening night gala at the 2015 Longines Masters of Los Angeles Thursday evening, Oct. 1. The glittering event, held in the Prestige Village lounge, was a mingling ground for riders and horse sport enthusiasts from around the world. Members of the Southern California equestrian community — many of whom have spent time on the global circuit — go to mingle and reunite with athletes from 20 nations. The champagne flowed and Olympic dressage rider Steffen Peters performed a demonstration aboard Legolas 92 to the delight of guests. Longines and show producers EEM have in their second year established this as a destination event on the international calendar.
