The 2025 São Paulo edition of the Global Champions Arabians Tour (GCAT) came to a spectacular close on Monday evening, with LUGHAN HVP, owned by Haras Paiquere, claiming the prestigious Senior Stallion Gold Championship title.
Held at the Helvetia Riding Center in Indaiatuba, the São Paulo stage marked the third stop of the 2025 Americas Series. Over two thrilling days, the venue was transformed into an international equestrian showcase, welcoming more than 100 purebred Arabian horses and their handlers, alongside an audience of VIPs, horse lovers, and international guests.
With a prize purse of USD 270,000, the São Paulo stage served as a key qualifier for the GCAT Americas overall ranking. Winners advanced in the race to claim part of the $1.275 million in end-of-season prize purse, allocated to the top 20 male and female horses and handlers, with an additional $50,000 bonus for the highest-scoring horse of the Americas Series. The Tour continues to solidify its reputation as the most prestigious and rewarding in Arabian horse sport.
