Who organises it
The show is organised by the Geneva International Horse Show Foundation.
What it offers
The line-up brings together the world's best riders. Switzerland's Steve Guerdat and Martin Fuchs lead a selection of 31 riders. The 25th Rolex IJRC Top 10 Final is held on Friday 11 December at 7:45 pm, with world number one Richard Vogel. Seven four-in-hand drivers, including world champion Boyd Exell and Switzerland's Jérôme Voutaz, compete in driving.
