Las Vegas, N.V. - The buzz is building for the upcoming Las Vegas National Horse Show. With three thrilling evenings of world-class show jumping guaranteed to pack the house, the South Point Hotel and Casino is the spot to be from November 13th through 15th, 2014.

A group of the world's best show jumpers and their mounts, including the youngest equestrian Olympian to date and Longines Rising Star Award Recipient, Reed Kessler; as well as FEI World Cup Finals and Olympian Rich Fellers; Global Champions Tour winner and World Equestrian Team Member Lucy Davis; the recent Los Angeles Masters Longines Grand Prix Winner Jos Verlooy; Olympic Gold Medalist Will Simpson; decorated show jumping veteran Susan Hutchison, the Coulter sisters, Saer and Audrey, as well as Charlie Jayne, will light up Las Vegas.

Back from many months in Europe working with the world-renowned German rider Marcus Ehning, Kessler is taking the East Coast by storm and will head West for her first ever Las Vegas National. Fellers and the indomitable Flexible head to Vegas fresh off a grand prix win at the September Sacramento International.

Also returning from a European tour with trainers Markus and Meredith Beerbaum, and now finishing up her degree at Stanford, Davis will take a break from her studies to compete. And the young Belgian Jos Verlooy, who rides with Harrie Smolders, seeks to continue his American winning ways in Las Vegas.

Also working with Smolders, the Coulter sisters have picked up big wins from California to Wellington as well as abroad. Ready to represent, Jayne traveled to Normandy as Reserve for the 2014 World Equestrian Games, which he has also done for the Olympic Games. His consistent record includes a close second place at the inaugural Central Park Grand Prix in New York City in September.

With a World Cup qualifying Grand Prix on the schedule, this is just a taste of the international competitors vying for a chance to compete in the prestigious Longines FEI World Cup Show Jumping & Dressage Finals also in Las Vegas at the Thomas and Mack Arena in April of 2015.
