The Manfred Swarovski Trophy

The Manfred Swarovski Trophy

The Manfred Swarovski trophy is awarded to the most successful horse and rider combination with percentages of Grand Prix, Grand Prix Special and Grand Prix Freestyle added together. The winner for any year can take this valuable Swarovski crystal piece to take home for one year. Full possession of the trophy goes with a 3 time victory with the same horse.

In 2014, Victoria Max-Theurer was the first to achieve this status. From Austria now 13-time national champion, the trophy did not travel far.
