It was a weekend full of emotion for Prestige Italia, outstanding results for our ambassadors, who took centre stage at some of the most important international show jumping events.
At the Longines Global Champions Tour Grand Prix in Cannes, presented by La Ville de Cannes, Sophie Hinners (Rubino MF AS-X), riding Iron Dames Singclair, secured an excellent 5th place. In the Global Champions League, riding Iron Dames My Prins and Iron Dames Singclair, together with teammate Janne Friederike Meyer-Zimmermann (Renaissance F) on Messi van’t Ruytershof, they achieved a remarkable 2nd place for their team, Cannes Stars powered by Iron Dames.
At the same time, in La Baule, during the prestigious Jumping International de La Baule – Officiel de France, Daniel Deusser (Rubino MF AS-X) delivered a textbook performance to win the Rolex Grand Prix – Ville de La Baule riding Otello De Guldenboom. In the same competition, excellent placings also for our other athletes: Riccardo Pisani (Renaissance F2) 6th with Chatolinue PS, Richard Vogel (X-Perience) 7th with Levi Noesar, Henrik von Eckermann (X-Perience MF) 8th with Minute Man, and Katrin Eckermann (Renaissance F2S) 9th with Iron Dames Cydello.

- In the Prix FFE / Generali (1.50 m): Riccardo Pisani stepped onto the podium with a 3rd place on Chacco’s Lawito PS, followed by Henrik von Eckermann 4th with Steely Dan and Peder Fredricson (Renaissance M) 5th with SV Vroom De La Pomme Z.

To make the French leg even more special, a Meet & Greet was held at our stand with Olympic champion Stéphane Landois: a hugely successful and well-attended moment that brought the public even closer to the Prestige world.
A weekend that once again confirms the excellence of our riders and our products at the most prestigious events on the international equestrian scene.
