Martin Fuchs: "My good round on Friday gave me the confidence to win the Grand Prix!"

A thrilling Rolex Grand Prix provided a fitting conclusion to the CSI5* Show Jumping at Royal Windsor Horse Show. “It’s obviously fantastic, not just to win back to back but the whole atmosphere of being here - it’s so special." Martin Fuchs said after winning the Grand Prix

I only brought one horse this week which puts a lot of pressure on the one class but I felt very confident after a good round on Friday. Today I knew when I walked the course that it suited us very well.”

Talking about the flying round, the Swiss rider stated: “I knew that I had to risk everything as I had some of the fastest riders in the world coming after me. Leone Jei has a huge stride so I have to try to ride tight turns and leave some strides out on the straight lines - his energy and ability lets me leave out strides which other horses aren’t able to do.”
