At 14:00 today, Sunday, July 13, equestrian history will once again be written in Falsterbo as the prestigious Rolex Grand Prix presented by Agria makes its Scandinavian debut.<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>With 500,000 euros in prize money on the line and the world&#8217;s top riders at the start, the stakes couldn\u2019t be higher. The course \u2014 designed by\u00a0<strong>Frank Rothenberger<\/strong>\u00a0(GER), in collaboration with\u00a0<strong>Fredrik Malm<\/strong>\u00a0(SWE) and\u00a0<strong>Philipp Schwender<\/strong>\u00a0(GER) \u2014 is set to test every ounce of strategy, precision, and bravery. It\u2019s a championship-caliber track worthy of the moment.<\/p>\n<p>For the past three days, the\u00a0<strong>Falsterbo Horse Show 2025<\/strong>\u00a0has unfolded with\u00a0<strong>relentless intensity<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0<strong>emotional highs<\/strong>, offering one of the most exhilarating weeks in recent memory. With packed grandstands and the unmistakable energy of the Swedish crowd, the scene is now perfectly set for the ultimate showdown: the\u00a0<strong>Rolex Grand Prix presented by Agria<\/strong>, held today,\u00a0<strong>Sunday, July 13 at 14:00<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>But before Sunday\u2019s main event, riders first had to\u00a0<strong>earn their place<\/strong>, and that road has been anything but easy. It began on\u00a0<strong>Thursday<\/strong>\u00a0with the opening CSIO5* qualifier presented by Trikem (1.50m), where\u00a0<strong>Henrik von Eckermann<\/strong>\u00a0wasted no time igniting the home crowd. Aboard\u00a0<strong>Steely Dan<\/strong>, the Swedish star blazed through the timers in 60.45 seconds to take the win, proving that local hopes were not just high \u2014 they were justified. Behind him, the Americans made their presence known, with\u00a0<strong>Spencer Smith (HHS Seattle)<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0<strong>World No. 1 Kent Farrington (Myla)<\/strong>\u00a0taking second and third respectively.<\/p>\n<p>On\u00a0<strong>Friday<\/strong>, the focus turned to national pride with the\u00a0<strong>Agria Falsterbo Nations Cup<\/strong>, a class that delivered all the drama and glory the sport can offer. Under immense pressure,\u00a0<strong>Team Sweden<\/strong>\u00a0rose to the occasion and delivered a flawless victory, finishing with a score of 4-0 to defeat the USA (4-4) and Ireland (4-4) in a lightning-fast showdown. Every clear round was met with a roar from the grandstands \u2014 the kind of atmosphere only Falsterbo can create.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, on\u00a0<strong>Saturday<\/strong>, riders had one last shot at qualifying in the final CSIO5* 1.50m. And it was\u00a0<strong>Abdel Sa\u00efd (BEL)<\/strong>\u00a0who seized the moment, piloting\u00a0<strong>Zasou Vom Claashof<\/strong>\u00a0to a clear round in 64.34 seconds. Rising British star\u00a0<strong>Sienna Charles\u00a0<\/strong>(Stardust) and\u00a0<strong>Sean Monaghan (IRL)<\/strong>\u00a0(Toyger) completed the podium, each punching their ticket to Sunday\u2019s elite field.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sunday\u2019s Rolex Grand Prix presented by Agria promises to be one of the defining moments of the international jumping season.<\/strong>\u00a0The start list reads like a who\u2019s who of the sport \u2014 Olympic champions, former winners, rising stars \u2014 each bringing their own momentum, ambition, and hunger for victory into this final showdown.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Germany\u2019s Sandra Auffarth<\/strong>\u00a0returns to Falsterbo to defend her crown, determined to repeat last year\u2019s triumph.\u00a0<strong>Henrik von Eckermann<\/strong>, will enter the arena with the full force of the Swedish public behind him \u2014 a crowd that has been nothing short of electric all week. Also in:\u00a0<strong>World No. 1 Kent Farrington<\/strong>, always a contender when the stakes are highest, and\u00a0<strong>Cian O\u2019Connor<\/strong>, second in the Rolex Grand Prix of Rome, ready to climb one step higher. Add to that the presence of\u00a0<strong>Peder Fredricson<\/strong>,\u00a0<strong>Malin Baryard-Johnsson<\/strong>,\u00a0<strong>Abdel Sa\u00efd<\/strong>,\u00a0<strong>Steve Guerdat<\/strong>, and more \u2014 and all the ingredients are there for a Grand Prix packed with emotion, pressure, and world-class sport.<\/p>\n<p>Here, you&#8217;ll find the starting list:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/online.equipe.com\/startlists\/1120276\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">https:\/\/online.equipe.com\/star&#8230;<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After several days of world-class competition, the stage is now set for the pinnacle event of the week.
