Top Ten Final awarded to Geneva

Spring has brought excellent news for the Geneva International Horse Show: the confirmation that the fourth edition of the Top-10 World Final will once again take place in conjunction with the CSI-W in December 2004.

The International Jumping Riders' Club (IJRC) voted in favour of CSI-W Geneva organising the fourth edition of the Top-10 world final.

This final, held once a year, is only open to the 10 best riders of the planet, i.e. the Top Ten of the FEI / Gandini World Jumping Riders Rankings. The two first Finals were won by Ludger Beerbaum (GER), with Goldfever in 2001 and with Gladdys'S in 2002. Last year Rodrigo Pessoa (BRA) and Baloubet du Rouet took the honours.

The fourth edition of the Top 10 Final will thus ensure the highest level of participation at the Geneva Horse Show, which always attracts so many equestrian fans.

For the fourth consecutive year, the Top-10 World Final will be presented by the watch company Rolex and the Italian High Fashion Fabrics Gandini. Rolex has been sponsoring the Geneva International Horse Show since the 1996 World Cup Final.
