A Season for the Ages

Scott Brash has rewritten the record books once again. His win in the CSIO5*-LLN Grand Prix of the City of Barcelona marks his sixth five-star Grand Prix or World Cup victory of 2025, officially making this his most successful season to date. Across more than a decade at the top of the sport, Brash has shown remarkable consistency and precision, but 2025 has elevated his legacy even further. With three horses each securing two five-star Grand Prix wins, his string has proven to be among the deepest and strongest anywhere in the world.

Sixth Win Seals a Career-Defining Year

Barcelona was the moment that sealed it. Riding the 10-year-old Hello Folie, Brash delivered yet another cool-headed performance under pressure to add another five-star Grand Prix victory to his growing 2025 tally. That win followed triumphs in Doha, Shanghai, St. Gallen, St. Tropez, and Calgary, six different venues, six elite wins, three different horses.

Since 2010, only 12 times has a rider managed five or more CSI5* Grand Prix or World Cup wins in one season. Scott Brash has done it three times. He joins names like Kent Farrington, Martin Fuchs, and McLain Ward, but 2025 stands alone as a testament to his versatility and consistency across surfaces, continents, and conditions.

Three Horses, One Dominant Rider

1. Hello Folie: The Rising Star

The 10-year-old Hello Folie has been a revelation. Not only did he clinch the Grand Prix of Barcelona, but he also opened Brash’s season with a win in Doha, and secured Team & Individual Silver at the 2025 European Championships in La Coruna, major performances that have established her among the sport’s most exciting up-and-coming horses. Folie currently holds an Elo rating of 752, ranking among the Top 40 horses in the world, and sits #1 among all 10-year-olds globally.

2. Hello Chadora Lady: The Powerhouse Mare

At 12 years old, Hello Chadora Lady has proven herself a consistent, high-class performer. Her wins in Shanghai and St. Tropez showcased her ability to deliver under pressure in intense jump-off situations. With an Elo rating of 739, she ranks among Brash’s top performers and underscores the quality throughout his stable.

3. Hello Jefferson: The Veteran Still Delivering

Now 16, Hello Jefferson continues to shine. Wins in Calgary and St. Gallen demonstrated his enduring athleticism and partnership with Brash. With an Elo rating of 703, Jefferson adds depth and experience to Brash’s record-breaking year, proof that brilliance and longevity can go hand in hand.

A Legacy Cemented

With 2025 officially marked as his best season ever, Scott Brash joins an exclusive group of riders who have dominated at the very top level year after year. His ability to continually evolve, to nurture and peak multiple horses simultaneously, and to keep winning against ever-stronger international competition confirms his status as one of the greatest of his generation.

As the season continues, the question isn’t whether Scott Brash will add to his total, it’s how far he’ll go.
