Doha, Qatar – January 11, 2026 – One name sounded across the speakers of the stunning Al Shaqab more than once on Super Saturday at Al Shaqab. After winning the Grand Prix of Doha CSI 3* earlier, Scott Brash (GBR) reminded everyone why he is one of the all-time greats of the noble sport. Teaming up with his faithful partner Hello Jefferson, Brash was bold, charging to victory in the €325,000 Grand Prix of Doha CSI 5* to conclude the second week of the Doha Equestrian Tour‘s (DET), H.H. The Father Amir’s Prix CSI 5* & CSI 3*.

Thirty-eight combinations lined up for the feature class of the week and nine of them managed to clear all the 1.60m obstacles and complete Bernardo Cabral‘s (POR) course within the time allowed of 75 seconds, thus advancing to the tiebreaker. In the end, it came down to three powerhouse nations fighting for the top spot.

Facing two less experienced riders for the top spot, Olympic champion and the only showjumper ever to win the Grand Slam, Brash used his experience to navigate the jump-off course flawlessly aboard the 2009 bay Belgian Warmblood gelding (Cooper van de Heffinck x Irco Mena) before tripping the timers in 42.66 seconds.

Only twelve-hundredths of a second separated the top two combinations and it was Mégane Moissonnier (FRA) who ended up being nipped at the wire, earning reserve honors on Crooner Tame in 42.78 seconds.

Despite not choosing to follow the sport as a full-time profession Eve Jobs (USA) once again showcased her top equestrian skills. This time, she rode Canto Bruno towards bronze honors backed by a clean scorecard and the final time of 43.42 seconds.

Winner’s Circle – Scott Brash (GBR)

“Hello Jefferson is an incredible horse. He’s 17 now, but he still feels like a young horse — he loves his job, and he’s always jumped well here in Doha in the main arena.”

Running from 8-10 January, Tour 2 welcomed more than 240 riders, with overall series prize money exceeding €3.3 million, as CSI5* and CSI3* sport continued to lift the level alongside CSI1* and National competition.
