He is undoubtedly one of the best showjumpers in the world: the striking grey Leone Jei (by Baltic VDL) has frequently proven his immense scope and carefulness under rider Martin Fuchs. Following his last appearance in Rome in October of last year, the 14-year-old gelding stepped away from the spotlight for a while.
Now, the winner of the 2025 Grand Prix of Aachen is back in the ring. Martin Fuchs brought Leone Jei, who also secured victories in the Rolex Grand Prix of Calgary in 2023 and 2024, as well as the IJRC Rolex Top Ten Final in Geneva in 2024, back to competition in Nancy, France. The powerhouse duo delivered a steady, clear round in the CSI1* Medium Tour over 1m20.
