The Concours Hippique International de Genève returns from December 11-15, featuring top show jumpers in the Palexpo Arena. This event marks a significant conclusion to the equestrian calendar

Geneva hosts two key competitions: the Rolex IJRC Top 10 Final and the Rolex Grand Prix. The Rolex Grand Prix is a highlight, known for its challenging course and prestigious reputation. Competitors must demonstrate precision and teamwork to succeed.

Swiss rider Martin Fuchs aims for glory after winning consecutive Grand Prix titles in 2019 and 2021. He is a live contender for the Rolex Grand Slam, having recently triumphed at the CSIO Spruce Meadows ‘Masters’ Tournament. Fuchs expressed his excitement about competing at home, stating, “Winning in front of my family and friends gives me additional motivation.”

The Rolex IJRC Top 10 Final gathers the world’s elite riders, competing for top honours. This year’s event includes Steve Guerdat, a three-time winner, who emphasised the unique nature of this competition. Kent Farrington and Richard Vogel also join the ranks of accomplished riders vying for victory.

Rolex’s long-standing support of equestrianism underlines its commitment to excellence in the sport. The brand has been a key player in promoting both tradition and innovation in equestrian events since 1957.
