CHI Geneva: Start to a busy year-end period

The 62th edition of the Concours Hippique International is set to stage Edouard Schmitz' last outing of the year in Switzerland and one two 5* events in December to close the year.

It has been a demanding second half of the year for Geneva native Edouard Schmitz. After qualifying for the Olympics 2024 with the Swiss national team and jumping at shows in China and Italy, the 24 year old just started his mandatory Swiss military service as a Sports private while still trying to maintain his horse jumping level. Successfully, as it seems. Quno and Edouard didn't seem to miss a beat riding at the CSIW5* World Cup in Madrid last week.

Now, they are getting ready for the CHI Geneva, taking place 6-10 December, followed by Mechelen (26-30 December).

«I will soon have twelve horses»

Edouard Schmitz has been working with his horses at his own stables in Anières for almost a year now. The 26-year-old says it is a lot of responsibility and a lot of work, but it also gives him the freedom to realise his own sporting vision.
