Niels Bruynseels of Belgium is the latest Rolex Grand Slam of Show Jumping contender following a sensational performance in the Rolex Grand Prix at the Dutch Masters in Den Bosch, Netherlands, one of the four Majors that make up the Rolex Grand Slam of Show Jumping.

Under the spotlights of the Brabanthal arena, the worldโ€™s best horse and rider combinations battled for the prize of the weekend, all vying to start their Rolex Grand Slam journey.

The 13 riders through to the jump-off included Great Britainโ€™s Scott Brash, the only rider so far to have won the Rolex Grand Slam of Show Jumping, putting extra pressure on the competitors. Eighth to go, Marcus Ehning (GER) raised the bar with a speedy clear round in 37.80 secs, but it was Bruynseels who shifted the pace up a gear to clinch the victory and his first ever Major in 37.10 secs. Ehning has to settle for second, and Harrie Smolders (NED) was third.
