DINARD 2025: WHERE LEGENDS RETURN AND HISTORY CONTINUES TO BE WRITTEN

From July 24 to 27, 2025, the Jumping International de Dinard will celebrate its 113th edition, marking ten years of excellence at CSI5* level. Since earning its fifth star in 2015, the iconic Breton show has established itself as a cornerstone of the international calendar.

The event will once again transform the Val Porée showground into a global stage for elite show jumping. With its unique blend of tradition, sporting excellence and summer elegance, Dinard remains one of the most beloved destinations on tour — now a proud event of the Rolex Series since 2024.

This year, nearly 170 riders from 30 nations and over 350 horses are expected to compete in 27 classes across four labels: CSI5*, CSI3*, CSI1*, and CSIYH (7-year-old horses). All competitions will take place either on the iconic grass arena — one of the most prestigious in the world — or the adjacent sand arena.

A WORLD-CLASS LINE-UP

This week, Dinard will welcome the very best in international show jumping. Just days after the 2025 European Championships, newly crowned European Champion Richard Vogel (GER) and Vice-Champion Scott Brash (GBR) will headline a phenomenal field, along with Pieter Devos (BEL), a key member of Belgium’s newly victorious European team.

The French delegation will be led by Kevin Staut, defending champion of the Rolex Grand Prix Ville de Dinard (2024), Team Olympic gold medalist, and pillar of French show jumping for over 15 years. He will be joined by Olympic teammates Roger-Yves Bost and Philippe Rozier, as well as top national riders including Julien Épaillard, Olivier Perreau, Alexa Ferrer, and Nina Mallevaey, the current world number 1 in the U25 rankings. Also in the spotlight: Marc Dilasser, Mégane Moissonnier, Marie Demonte, and Nicolas Delmotte, winner of the Dinard Grand Prix in 2017.

A strong Swiss squad will also be present, featuring Martin Fuchs (world no.7), two-time Rolex Grand Prix Ville de Dinard winner (2021 & 2022), and Steve Guerdat (world no.6).

Max Kühner (AUT), winner of the 2023 edition, will return to the Val Porée arena with high ambitions.

Top-ranked names from around the world will also compete, including:

Henrik von Eckermann (SWE) (world no.3)

Daniel Deusser (GER) (world no.15), winner of the Rolex Grand Prix de la Ville de La Baule 2025

Lillie Keenan (USA)

Daniel Coyle, Shane Sweetnam, and Denis Lynch (IRL)

Giulia Martinengo Marquet (ITA) (Italy’s no.1)

Harrie Smolders (NED)

From rising stars to seasoned champions, the Rolex Series stage at Dinard promises high-stakes sport, elegance, and unforgettable moments.
