Next Friday at 9 p.m. the attention of all jumping fans will be focused on the main arena of the CHI in Geneva (6-10 December). Following the best tradition, the sporting showcase of the ROLEX IJRC TOP 10 FINAL will be enriched by the competition format (a two-course class), the opening ceremony, breaking interviews with all the riders after each course, fascinating music and lighting and the warmth of the passionate Palexpo audience.
The ten riders are on their way to Geneva. And while everybody is waiting for their official declaration regarding the horses, the most awaited confirmation has already arrived. Henrik von Eckermann will be riding King Edward in the Rolex IJRC Top 10.
Alongside von Eckermann, three more riders are in the Top 10 roll of honour: Ben Maher, Kent Farrington and Steve Guerdat. The Swiss reigning European champion, who boasts ten participations, last year did not attend the competition and will therefore celebrate his comeback. « ‘One of the most inspiring aspects in my equestrian career,’ - Guerdat commented, ‘is the support and appreciation of the fans in Geneva. Their passion and enthusiasm are a huge boost for my performance’.
