In 1958, Jumping Amsterdam was founded at the old RAI. The ambition wasclear: to create a leading international equestrian event in the capital. Yet its initiator, former international show jumper Ben Arts, had great difficulty persuading the renowned sports physician Hans Tetzner to become chairmanand beer magnate Freddy Heineken to come on board as a sponsor.
The first edition was an immediate success. Nevertheless, the event ran into a financial shortfall and was unable to meet its payment obligations for the venue. As a result, the RAI became its second sponsor.
