It was an intense battle between Germany and Switzerland for gold at the Longines FEI Jumping European Championships.

New parents Steve and Fanny had a banner Saturday, with Steve winning the Ducati Prize and Fanni earning her first 5* ribbon.

The second leg of the 2021 Division 1 series took place in France, with Team Switzerland repeating their 2019 win at this venue.

The Olympian tops the rankings for the third time as the equestrian calendar starts opening up again after a 16-month Covid break.

The 1.60m Grand Prix at Hubside in Saint-Tropez ‒ the first outdoor CSI5* in Europe this year ‒ saw a big win for the Swiss rider.

The lovely 11-year old KWPN mare Evita, formerly ridden by Steve Guerdat (SUI) has been acquired by MarBill Hill Farm of Bradford, ON.

Two thirds of the World Top 30 were present in the French Riviera for the first CSI 5* in the world since show jumping competition restarted.

Despite sport ground to a halt and no chance to add to his win column - plus his wedding to fiancee Fanny Skalli postponed - Guerdat is staying positive.

Switzerland’s Steve Guerdat left spectators aghast with his fearless victory in the Longines FEI Jumping World Cup at Bordeaux in France.

Steve Guerdat (SUI), Olympic gold medallist and three-time FEI World Cup™ champion, has regained the number one spot in the Longines World Rankings.
