Magnificent ten all set for a stellar final
Geneva, 5 November 2025 – The ten best riders on the planet will go head to head at the world’s biggest indoor arena in the 24th Rolex IJRC Top 10 Final on Friday 12 December, all with the same objective in mind: to succeed Switzerland’s Martin Fuchs as the reigning champion.
The leader of the FEI Ranking for several months now, Kent Farrington of the USA has his sights set on a third victory in the event, to go with his 2015 and 2019 wins, and equalling the record held by Steve Guerdat. Though out of action for health reasons since September, Guerdat will also be lining up, following the withdrawal of the USA’s Laura Kraut, whose horses are either unfit to compete or unavailable.
Victors in 2014 and 2021 respectively, Great Britain’s Scott Brash – the only rider ever to win the Rolex Grand Slam of Show Jumping – and Ben Maher (2021) are among the favourites, as are Christian Kukuk of Germany, the reigning Olympic champion, and compatriot Richard Vogel and Harrie Smolders of the Netherlands, respectively the last two winners of the CHI Geneva Rolex Grand Prix. Completing the list of ten riders for the 24th Rolex IJRC Top 10 Final are the young Belgian Gilles Thomas, Canada- based Irish rider Daniel Coyle, and France’s Julien Epaillard.
