The Rolex Grand Slam of Show Jumping made its much-anticipated return to the CHIO Aachen for the second equestrian Major of the calendar year. Beneath the dazzling lights of the historic main stadium, the spotlight fell on the Turkish Airlines – Prize of Europe, the first qualifying class for the prestigious Rolex Grand Prix.
Designed by renowned course builder Frank Rothenberger, the 1.60m track featured 14 combinations and presented a true test of skill and scope. As is so often the case at the World Equestrian Festival, the starting list was world-class. Among the star-studded field was Richard Vogel, who claimed victory in this very class in 2024; Paris 2024 Olympic Individual Champion Christian Kukuk; and the current World No. 1 Kent Farrington, who was also first to enter the ring aboard his talented 10-year-old bay mare, Myla.
