Rolex Grand Slam of Show Jumping
What was once reserved for the classical hero is now conceded to sports: to create a legend or a myth.
Only exceptional achievements and the height of concentration create successes that are never forgotten. Even today, almost 60 years later, the soccer “Miracle of Bern” is remembered – as is Halla, who carried her rider Hans Günther Winkler in 1956 to a Olympic win. Athletes such as Muhammad Ali remain unforgettable, as are Jesse Owens, Pelé, Steffi Graf or Michael “Air” Jordan. The world of championship sports is the World of the Rolex Grand Slam. Four of the most prestigious and famous Equestrian Sport Venues in the world have joined together to combine not only 5 million Euro prize money, but also 1,200 accredited journalists, 900,000 spectators and more than 250 years of Equestrian Sport History. Legends can grow out of these traditions. If one rider wins the final Grand Prix at three of the four tournaments, one after the other, they win the Rolex Grand Slam, and with that an extra one million Euros in prize money. However, a win in the Rolex Grand Slam is far more. It will make the rider legendary.

Four Majors – Aachen, Spruce Meadows, Geneva & ´s-Hertogenbosch
The system of the Rolex Grand Slam is simple: Anyone, who wins three shows in a row, receives 1 million Euros on top of the prize-money of each show. If that same rider then continues their success by winning a fourth Major in succession, they will be rewarded with an additional 1 million Euro bonus. Moreover, anyone who wins two out of the four shows, also receives a bonus. If two shows are won in succession, the bonus is 500,000 Euros. If the rider is successful in qualifying for the “Two out of four mode”, but doesn’t claim the victories at two consecutive shows, the bonus total 250,000 Euros. It is only the rider that counts. It is possible to claim the bonus riding different horses. This system is infinite, it is not limited to a calendar year. It is a never ending story.
2015 the British Show Jumper Scott Brash is the first to win the Rolex Grand Slam. With his Horse Hello Sanctos he won the three Grand Prix in Aachen, Spruce Meadows and Geneva – and makes History.
