Alessandra Volpi Won the Grand Prix CSI3* at Scuderia La Caccia

American rider Alessandra Volpi claimed the top prize in the Grand Prix show jumping at Lake Garda — the CSI3 H.155 at Scuderia La Caccia.

A Perfect Round

In a Grand Prix that sent 60 horse-and-rider combinations to the start, only six made it through to the jump-off. Indeed, Volpi was the first to set the benchmark, crossing the finish line in 39.02 seconds with not a single fault — a performance that proved unbeatable.

Second place went to Federico Ciriesi on Quantasy della Caccia (39.37, double clear) — a result that carries particular meaning at this venue: Quantasy della Caccia is a horse bred by Scuderia La Caccia itself, making the podium a point of pride for the Bonomelli family and the entire team behind the Garda Tour.

Moreover, Elisa Chimirri completed an all-clear podium in third place aboard Your Lord d’Acheronte (40.84), followed by Nico Lupino on Iniesta (41.37) and José María Larocca Jr on RR Brutus (41.77). Faye Schoch rounded out the jump-off in sixth with Cornetto DB Z (42.09).

The Home Team on the Scoreboard

Beatrice Guidi, Event Director of Scuderia La Caccia and rider for the home stable, also competed in the Grand Prix, finishing seventh aboard Chippendel de la Tour with four faults in a time of 39.78 — a strong result that adds a personal note to an event she helps build year after year.

A Star-Studded Field

The Grand Prix attracted a field of international calibre. Among the starters, Christian Kukuk (GER) — individual Olympic gold medallist at Paris 2024 — competed with HK Carrera, finishing with four faults. Alongside him, Steve Guerdat (SUI), Olympic champion in London 2012, took part with Hadj de Bliniere. Meanwhile, Jessica Springsteen (USA) rode Gmail to 21st place.

Cheers to the Grand Prix

Furthermore, the atmosphere at Scuderia La Caccia was electric throughout the day. Between the first round and the jump-off, and again during the prize-giving ceremony, the Milano Cheers brought energy and colour to the arena, turning the Grand Prix into a full celebration — on and off the horse.
