The ultimate challenge
Launched in 2013, the Rolex Grand Slam of Show Jumping rewards the outstanding rider who wins three consecutive Majors at four of the world’s most historic shows – The Dutch Masters, the CSIO Spruce Meadows ‘Masters’ Tournament, the CHIO Aachen and the CHI Geneva. Considered by the sport to be the ultimate equestrian challenge, it rewards the very best riders with a €1 million bonus. If all four Majors are won in succession, a further €1 million bonus is awarded.
Created in 1966 and held 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.
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, which Rolex has partnered for more than 20 years.
Staged in Calgary, Canada, the event’s spectacular setting is matched by the outstanding facilities for the world’s best horses and riders. 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 equestrian world’s most prestigious 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 jumping event on 10 occasions. Competition highlights include the Rolex Grand Prix and the Rolex IJRC Top 10 Final.
