Scott Brash (GBR) and Hello Folie (Luidam x Diamant de Semilly) won Saturday’s CSI5* 1.60m Grand Prix at the Doha International Equestrian Tour 2025 in Doha, Qatar.
Topping a starting field of 33 horse-and-rider combinations in the competition counting for the Longines Rankings Group AA, the 2024 Olympic team gold medalist and the 10-year-old mare Hello Folie posted the winning time of 43.21 seconds in a jump-off of eleven.
“I’m delighted with Folie,” Brash told World of Showjumping. “I’ve always felt like she can win a five-star Grand Prix but to win on her first attempt I’m over the moon with. She’s a fighter and wants to win, loves her job and I feel very lucky to be riding her.”
Abdel Said (BEL) and Bonne Amie (A Big Boy x Landfriese) placed second in 45.24, while Duarte Seabra (POR) and Dourados 2 (Diarado x Cornet Obolensky) completed the podium in third in 46.69. Edwina Tops-Alexander (AUS) and Fellow Castlefield (Je T’Aime Flamenco x Twister) finished fourth in 48.05, followed by Nadja Peter Steiner (SUI) and No-Comment de Septon (Jenson Van’T Meulenhof x Couleur Rubin) in fifth in 48.15.
