Launched in 2013, the Rolex Grand Slam of Show Jumping rewards the outstanding rider who wins, consecutively, the Grand Prix at three of the four Majors, namely, The Dutch Masters in ’s-Hertogenbosch, the CSIO Spruce Meadows ‘Masters’ Tournament in Calgary, the CHIO Aachen and the CHI Geneva. Considered to be the ultimate equestrian challenge, it rewards the very best riders with a €1 million bonus. To date, Rolex Testimonee Scott Brash from Scotland is the only competitor to achieve the feat, having done so across 2014 and 2015. If all four Majors are won in succession, a further €1 million bonus is awarded.
First held in 1967 in the medieval city of ’s-Hertogenbosch, The Dutch Masters attracts the world’s leading horse and rider combinations. The event’s blend of magnificent show jumping and elite dressage puts it at the very top of the international indoor equestrian circuit. Rolex has been Main Sponsor and Title Sponsor of The Dutch Masters’ Grand Prix since 2014.
A special occasion for riders, a captivating experience for those in the stands. The CHIO Aachen is a magnetic occasion as competitors and spectators alike revel in the electric atmosphere at the revered Aachen Soers showgrounds. With every masterful jump, elegant piaffe and stunning athletic movement, Aachen stands as a beacon of equestrian tradition and excellence. Rolex has partnered the event for more than 20 years.
Staged in Calgary, Canada, the event’s spectacular setting is matched by the challenges posed by the course set-up to the world’s best horses and riders who compete there. The CSIO Spruce Meadows ‘Masters’ Tournament is regarded by many enthusiasts as the leading equestrian event in North America. Rolex has been affiliated with it since 1989.
Rolex has been the Presenting Sponsor of the CHI Geneva, one of the world’s most prestigious equestrian competitions, for more almost 30 years. The event brings together an extraordinary line-up of elite riders for five days of compelling action in the world’s largest indoor equestrian arena. Known also as the Geneva International Horse Show, it was first staged in 1926 and has been voted the best indoor show jumping event in the world on 10 occasions. Competition highlights include the Rolex Grand Prix and the Rolex International Jumping Riders Club (IJRC) Top 10 Final.
