THE ROLEX SERIES HEADS TO HISTORIC GALLAGHER DUBLIN HORSE SHOW

The Rolex Series heads to Ireland this week for the Gallagher Dublin Horse Show, the sixth and penultimate event of the 2026 season. Staged at the historic Royal Dublin Society (RDS) from 5 to 9 August, this year's edition is particularly significant as it celebrates the 100th anniversary of Ireland's first official CSIO, adding another chapter to the remarkable history of one of show jumping's most prestigious venues.

Blending world-class sport with Irish tradition, the Gallagher Dublin Horse Show offers an experience unlike any other in international show jumping. This week, 56 riders and 137 horses will gather in Dublin, with the world's best once again chasing Rolex Series glory.

Leading the field are World No. 1 Kent Farrington, World No. 2 Richard Vogel, World No. 5 Shane Sweetnam, fresh from his Rolex Grand Prix victory in Falsterbo, Olympic champion Steve Guerdat, Laura Kraut, defending champion of the Rolex Grand Prix of Ireland, as well as Rodrigo Pessoa, Daniel Deusser, Cian O'Connor, Daniel Coyle, Jordan Coyle, Tom Wachman and many more.

One of the week's highlights will be the legendary Nations' Cup of Ireland for the Aga Khan Trophy, before attention turns to Sunday's Rolex Grand Prix of Ireland (3:00 p.m.). Following one of the sport's most demanding qualification systems, only 40 combinations will earn the right to compete for one of the most prestigious titles in international showjumping.

Who will rise to the occasion and add their name to the Rolex Grand Prix of Ireland honour roll?

The 2025 Rolex Grand Prix was quite unusual with no rider managing to clear their round, only for Laura Kraut to come in, clear and grab the win. Read all about it here
