GENEVA was definitely the place for international show jumpers to be at the weekend, with the 62nd five-star CHI Geneva hosting the final show jumping major of the year. Classes including the Rolex Grand Prix (part of the Rolex Grand Slam of Show Jumping), the Rolex Top 10 final and an Under 25 Grand Prix attracted the cream of competitors to the prestigious Swiss show. Competitions ran from Wednesday until Sunday, with the five-star classes starting on Thursday and Irish riders making an impression from day one!

The Rolex Grand Prix took centre stage on Sunday and, out of 40 starters, only seven jumped clear in the first round. One of those was Louth’s Mark McAuley riding the Irish-bred GRS Lady Amaro.
