The Rolex Grand Prix is a challenge every year, especially since it attracts the best horses and riders in the world, so there’s a certain amount of pressure. There is also money at stake, which adds a bit of pressure, but more importantly, it’s one of the biggest competitions of the year: the Rolex Grand Slam of Show Jumping is special! We have to make sure that the course lives up to the expectations of the riders, the public and the sponsors.

Can you tell us a little bit about the course you’ve designed for Sunday?

Well, at this moment in time it’s still being built! I already have a basic plan which I think will be similar to previous years. It is quite classic, since it’s a classic event with obstacles that are close together, and it will certainly be technical in terms of distances and heights. Of course, we are always looking to achieve maximum difficulty for this type of event…
