The International Jumping Riders Club, through the speech of its director Eleonora Ottaviani, made an interesting contribution to the conference 'The horse athlete: protection and prospects' organised on Wednesday 31 January by the Italian Equestrian Sports Federation (FISE) with the University of Bologna and the patronage of the International Equestrian Federation (FEI).
The 61st edition of the Concours Hippique International de Genève provided incredible competition on Friday night as the world’s top ten ranked riders competed against each other in the unique Rolex IJRC Top 10 Final. With the Champion determined according to the least faults in the first and second round, and the fastest time in the second round, the pressure was on.
In front of an enthusiastic full house, the top three riders in the first round was France’s Simon Delestre and Cayman Jolly Jumper who closed with the clock stopping at 65.90; Brazil’s Marlon Modolo Zanotelli with Like A Diamond van het Schaeck under the saddle closing at 66.70, and world number one Henrick Von Eckermann stopping the clock at 67.47 aboard the 12-year-old chestnut gelding owned by Dufour Stables Ag.
