Olympic champions, World and European Winners, World Cup Finalists, and the Top 10 of show jumping are all set to compete at the 2016 International Horse Show (CHI) Geneva, Switzerland from December 8th -12th.
Only the world’s Top 10 ranked riders are invited to compete in one of the main highlights of the CHI Geneva programme this week: the Rolex International Jumping Riders Club (IJRC) Top 10 Final on Friday, December 9th.
In one of the most prestigious classes on the international stage, 2015 champion Kent Farrington returns to the Palexpo Arena to defend his Rolex IJRC Top 10 Final title alongside fellow world Top 10 ranked riders such as Eric Lamaze and Kevin Staut. Switzerland’s own Steve Guerdat who rose to the world No. 10 spot this month, will now have a chance to stake a claim in the coveted final.
The excitement will continue on Sunday, December 11th as Great Britain’s Scott Brash, who is in line for the Rolex Grand Slam after winning the Major title at the CSIO Spruce Meadows ‘Masters’ in September, will face off against top competition in Geneva for the Rolex Grand Prix.
Brash, the first and only rider to win the Rolex Grand Slam of Show Jumping, will be going up against the Rolex Grand Prix of Aachen winner, Germany’s Philipp Weishaupt and last year’s Rolex Grand Prix winner, Steve Guerdat.
