Rolex Grand Slam of Show Jumping

Considered by many as the greatest challenge in the equestrian world, the Rolex Grand Slam of Show Jumping crowns the rider who consecutively wins three of the four Majors: The Dutch Masters in ’s‑Hertogenbosch, the CSIO Spruce Meadows ‘Masters’ in Calgary, the CHIO Aachen, and the CHI Geneva. To date, Scottish rider Scott Brash is the only one to have achieved this feat, between 2014 and 2015.

Inaugurated in 2013, the Rolex Grand Slam of Show Jumping initially brought together the Majors of Aachen, Calgary, and Geneva. In 2018, The Dutch Masters was added: since then, the Grand Slam includes two outdoor competitions, the CHIO Aachen and the CSIO Spruce Meadows ‘Masters’, and two indoor competitions, the CHI Geneva and The Dutch Masters.

Rolex’s partnerships in equestrian sports thrive at the highest levels with both world-class riders and events, as well as in the organization of events behind the scenes.

The Dutch Masters

First held in 1967 in the medieval city of ’s‑Hertogenbosch, The Dutch Masters attracts top competitors worldwide. This event, a spectacular combination of show jumping and dressage, is considered the most important event on the Dutch indoor equestrian circuit. Rolex has been the Principal Sponsor and Title Sponsor of The Dutch Masters Grand Prix since 2014. The 2024 edition, held from March 7 to 10, culminates on Sunday with the Rolex Grand Prix, the first Major of the year, counting towards the Rolex Grand Slam of Show Jumping. Testimonial Daniel Deusser has triumphed twice in this event, in 2015 and 2022.

CHIO Aachen – World Equestrian Festival

The CHIO Aachen is a magnetic event that immerses competitors and the public in the electrifying atmosphere of the legendary Aachen Soers arenas. The best talents from various equestrian disciplines – show jumping, dressage, eventing, vaulting, and driving – gather at the beginning of the Northern Hemisphere summer to offer spectators a unique experience. Rolex has been a partner of the CHIO Aachen for over twenty years, epitomizing tradition and excellence.

CSIO Spruce Meadows ‘Masters’

Held in Calgary, Canada, the CSIO Spruce Meadows ‘Masters’ offers a spectacular setting and challenging courses that test the best riders and horses in the world. Rolex is the Official Sponsor of the event, considered by many enthusiasts as the most important equestrian event in North America, and Presenting Sponsor of the CPKC ‘International’ Grand Prix, counting towards the Rolex Grand Slam of Show Jumping.

CHI Geneva

Rolex has been the Presenting Sponsor of the CHI Geneva, one of the world’s most prestigious equestrian competitions, for nearly thirty years. The event brings together an extraordinary group of top riders in the world’s largest indoor equestrian arena. Also known as the Geneva International Horse Show, the CHI Geneva was established in 1926. In 2019, this event was voted the best indoor show jumping competition in the world for the tenth time in its history and the best indoor cross-country competition for the first time by the renowned annual L’Année Hippique, based on votes from riders, journalists, and equestrian personalities. Highlights of the competition include the Rolex Grand Prix and the Rolex International Jumping Riders Club (IJRC) Top 10 Final.
