Rolex and Equestrianism - A season of excellence

Rolex Grand Slam of Eventing
Honouring eventing

Being an eventing rider means mastering dressage, cross-country and show jumping. Emerging triumphant from one of the three biggest competitions – the Kentucky Three-Day Event, the Badminton Horse Trials, and the Burghley Horse Trials – is a considerable achievement. Rolex supports all three competitions and is Title Sponsor of the Rolex Grand Slam of Eventing, which, since 1999, is awarded to the rider who wins the three CCI5s* in succession.

I think it’s a great idea. It’s very difficult to win one, and then three in a row… it’s a very unique thing to do.
