The 5 Geneva Horse Show, a Leg of the Rolex Grand Slam of Show Jumping, Delivered a Remarkable Podium*
The top spot went to Dutch rider Harrie Smolders with Monaco, followed by First Lieutenant of the Italian Air Force, Giulia Martinengo Marquet, riding Delta de l’Isle, and in third place, Gilles Thomas with Ermitage Kalone.
A podium that celebrates the talent and dedication of our partners.
Harrie Smolders delivered an extraordinary performance with Monaco, who proved to be the fastest of the three, once again showcasing the strong connection between Harrie and his horse.
Giulia Martinengo Marquet, paired with her trusted Delta de l’Isle, tackled the two Grand Prix rounds flawlessly, thrilling the audience with unforgettable moments. Her elegant and precise riding earned well-deserved praise from the TV commentator.
The third-place finish went to the young and talented Gilles Thomas, riding the phenomenal Ermitage Kalone, a stallion that has been making waves in the equestrian world for several seasons.
A podium close to our hearts, one we experienced with great emotion, reflecting the commitment and quality of our collaborations.
We are proud to partner with Harrie and his sister Caroline, with Elvo Stallions serving as the official distributor of semen from their stallions.
Giulia Martinengo Marquet is not only an exceptional horsewoman but, together with her husband Stefano Cesaretto, plays a key role in our breeding and sporting activities. We share strategies with them, and they closely follow the careers of our young horses, significantly contributing to their development and preparation.
Ermitage Kalone, owned by Stal Nieuwenhof, for whom Gilles Thomas is the official rider, is one of the stallions featured in the Elvo Stallions catalog.
Once again, congratulations to all!
