The prestigious CHI Genève in Switzerland is over for another year!
Some key highlights from the event included:
The 2019 Rolex Grand Prix was won by Rolex Testimonee Martin Fuchs from Switzerland, riding Clooney 51. The Rolex Grand Prix is one of the four equestrian Majors that form the Rolex Grand Slam of Show Jumping, and is one of the most prestigious Grand Prix on the international circuit.
The Rolex International Jumping Riders Club (IJRC) Top 10 Final was won by Rolex Testimonee Kent Farrington from the United States, riding Austria 2. The Rolex IJRC Top 10 Final is an elite competition which invites the top 10 riders to compete to be named the best among them.
Another highlight from the event was the retirement ceremony for Hello Sanctos, Scott Brash’s famed jumper; the only horse to ever win the Rolex Grand Slam. The Grand Prix at CHIO Aachen, the CSIO Spruce Meadows 'Masters', the CHI Geneva and the Dutch Masters are all part of this series, with the Grand Slam title being awarded to anyone that wins three of these show in a row.
In 2015, Scott Brash and Hello Sanctos consecutively won the three Majors at the CHI Geneva 2014, the CHIO Aachen 2015 and Spruce Meadows “Masters” Calgary.
