The Jumping International de Dinard has unveiled an outstanding Master List for its 2026 edition, confirming once again its place among the most prestigious events on the international calendar. Taking place from 30 July to 2 August, the fifth event of the Rolex Series will welcome many of the world's leading riders to the historic grass arena of Val Porée, just weeks before the FEI World Championships in Aachen.
A total of 44 riders and 80 horses from the world's leading show jumping nations will travel to Brittany, confirming Dinard's status as one of the sport's premier international gatherings. Among the standout names are World No. 2 Richard Vogel (GER), World No. 4 Ben Maher (GBR), World No. 10 Christian Kukuk (GER), Olympic champion Steve Guerdat (SUI), European champion Martin Fuchs (SUI), Rolex Grand Slam of Show Jumping winner Scott Brash (GBR), Olympic champion Rodrigo Pessoa (BRA), Luciana Diniz (BRA), Pieter Devos (BEL), Gregory Wathelet (BEL), rising Belgian star Thibeau Spits (BEL), Armando Trapote (ESP), and leading American rider Lillie Keenan (USA). France will also be strongly represented by Paris 2024 Olympic team bronze medalists Julien Épaillard and Olivier Perreau, alongside Kevin Staut and Pénélope Leprevost. Held just days before the world's best head to Aachen, the Jumping International de Dinard once again occupies a unique place in the international calendar. More than simply chasing victories, riders will use the event to fine-tune preparations, build confidence and confirm the form of their horses ahead of the biggest championship of the year.
Renowned throughout the sport, the legendary pink grass arena of Val Porée has long been regarded as one of the finest natural arenas in the world. Its undulating terrain, immaculate footing and technical demands have made it a true benchmark for horse-and-rider combinations, rewarding precision, balance and experience.
Throughout four days of competition, spectators will enjoy an exceptional sporting programme, featuring the Estivales de l’équitation Prize 1,45m, the Mars & Co Prize 1,55m, the Key Player Prize 1,50m, and the spectacular SAUR Derby, before all eyes turn to the weekend's showpiece event: the Rolex Grand Prix Ville de Dinard, taking place on Sunday at 2:45 pm.
Contested over 1.60m, the Rolex Grand Prix Ville de Dinard will bring together the world's leading riders to battle for one of the most prestigious titles of the outdoor season. Following a first round, the qualified combinations will return for a jump-off, where the fastest fault-free performance will claim victory.
Course Designer Jean-François Morand will once again be responsible for testing the world's best. Having designed the tracks in Dinard since 2013, he will create courses worthy of the occasion while considering the event's unique position in the lead-up to the FEI World Championships.
The Rolex Grand Prix Ville de Dinard will provide a spectacular finale to the weekend as the world's best riders battle to succeed Aaron Vale and Carissimo 25, the winners of the 2025 edition.
