Road to Paris 2024, Scuderia 1918's qualificated combinations

The Paris Olympics are just a few months away. All the Federations are processing the results of the past competition seasons and monitoring the form of their top-level horse and rider partnerships to define the teams and individual participants that will represent their flags at the largest sporting event in the world.

We are proud to see some of our horses being long-listed as likely participants in this prestigious global sporting event. This is the result of careful and far-sighted management by our racing team who tirelessly worked to prepare for this important event.

In the discipline of Eventing, there are three combinations that are currently in the eye of the relevant selectors and federations:

For Australia, Scuderia 1918 Don Quidam and Scuderia 1918 A Best Friend who both obtained Olympic qualification with the great champion Kevin McNab.

Representing the Italian flag, among the long list of probable Olympic athletes is Scuderia 1918 Future with the Sergeant Major of the Italian Army Emiliano Portale.

In the discipline of Show Jumping, the French selectors and federation are targeting multi-medallist and Olympic champion Kevin Staut with Scuderia 1918 Viking d'La Rousserie.
