“It is an amazing opportunity for someone at my age to be doing these Longines Global Champions Tour shows. I love them all and don’t have a favourite because they are all so uniquely incredible. The team that arranges these events are just incredible and they give all of us riders an amazing experience. The horses are so well looked after and it is like a dream come true.
I was never expecting to win this. When I was informed of the standings before Monaco I was a bit nervous for jumping here. I am just over the moon.
You are only as good as your horses and I have two remarkable horses. I only got Charmeur in January, he is young but tried incredibly hard and Jacqmotte is an older horse and will just do anything for me and I can’t wait to come back next year.” – Claudia Rothermere, Winner of the 2024 Constance Hotels and Resorts Challenge
