Sunday 29 September 2013 – Jeroen Dubbeldam today won the Furusiyya Rider of the Final award, which was presented to him by Saudi Equestrian’s Team Director, Sami Al Duhami.

Dubbeldam was selected by a jury consisting of former world number two ranked professional tennis player, Conchita Martínez, and former Grand Prix motorcycle road racer, Àlex Crivillé. Both judges recognised Dubbeldam’s disappointing retirement during Friday’s First Qualifier, followed by the Dutchman’s impressive clear round in Sunday’s Final aboard his mare, Utascha Sfn – a magnificent turn-around.

The French team was crowned the 2013 Furusiyya FEI Nations Cup Jumping Final champions, while Canadian Eric Lamaze and British rider Scott Brash shared the €200,000 bonus prize after they both went clear in Friday’s First Qualifier and also in Sunday’s Final – a remarkable achievement.

The 2013 Furusiyya FEI Nations Cup Jumping Final took place at the Reial Club de Polo de Barcelona in Spain.
