Longines Arena at Al Shaqab in Doha, Qatar, hosted the final day of Tour 4, bringing the H.H. The Father Amir’s Prix 2026 series to a close. The program ran across the outdoor and indoor arenas and built up towards the main event: the CSI5* 1.60m Grand Prix Two Rounds. With a Tour 4 prize money of €1,217,000 and a total season purse of €3,303,000 across the four tours, the series finale put the Grand Prix at the centre of the day.
Grand Prix Day ended with an extraordinary finish as Scott Brash (GBR) won the CSI5* 1.60m Grand Prix Two Rounds with Hello Jefferson. Megane Moissonnier (FRA) finished second with Crooner Tame, and Nadja Peter Steiner (SUI) took third place with Mila.
Brash remarked, “Hello Jefferson was amazing today. His second round was even better than the first one. I’m unbelievably lucky, I have four unbelievable horses here. It makes my life easier to manage them well and try to pick the right classes for them. And my team is amazing; we are in a really good run.”
Megane Moissonnier of France, who finished in second place, said, “The arena is amazing. I was a bit nervous when I entered it; but then I forgot everything and focused on the course until the last fence. The public is really good, and it’s great to compete here in Doha. For the first time, it was amazing.”
Swiss rider Nadja Peter Steiner commented on this third-place finish. “I was really happy about my round. My horse jumped amazingly, and the whole weekend was amazing. Mila is an amazing mare. I have been riding her for exactly one year. I rode her for the first time when I was here at Al Shaqab. We’ve had an amazing year together, and I’m so happy to compete at so many nice events with this mare.”
Scott Brash finishes the series on top with 199 points (34 + 55 + 55 + 55). He is followed by Harry Charles (GBR) on 114, and Megane Moissonnier (FRA) on 113. Eve Jobs (USA) holds fourth on 95, while Nadja Peter Steiner (SUI) is fifth on 72.
