TRAVERSE CITY, MI — Northern Michigan will be featured nationally on Thursday, September 24, when CBS Sports Network broadcasts highlights from the $340,000 Longines FEI Jumping World Cup™ CSI5*-W Traverse City for the American Gold Cup presented by Frank & Eileen.
The two-hour program highlights international show jumping at Flintfields Horse Park, where 2,500 spectators attended the Traverse City Horse Shows season finale. Switzerland’s Beat Mändli and Qoachella secured victory with the only double-clear performance of the day, marking the 10-year-old mare’s first five-star Grand Prix win.
This event concluded thirteen weeks of equestrian sport in Northern Michigan and launched the 2026–27 North American League, starting the path to the 2027 Longines FEI Jumping World Cup™ Final in Gothenburg, Sweden.
The broadcast gives local viewers another chance to see the season finale while introducing audiences across the country to Flintfields Horse Park, its equestrian community, and the Northern Michigan setting that draws visitors each summer.
