Edouard Schmitz wants to win the Holy Grail in his garden
The CHI starts this Wednesday with the 23-year-old from Geneva, who shone last year at Palexpo. He is back in this competition at home which made him want to become the top level rider he is today.
In Wängi, Edouard Schmitz trains in the Fuchs stable, where he also prepares future horses, like the young Stute Jaltha here.

For him, for them, it’s the same feeling each time, the same tremors, with big shivers all over his body and eyes that shine. As is also the case for Steve Guerdat or Martin Fuchs, this star-studded track at Palexpo, the largest on the indoor horse racing circuit in the world, exudes something bewitching and magical. When Edouard Schmitz arrives in this majestic hall, in front of this famous red curtain, his heart begins to beat faster and faster. It is for him, for all, the meeting of the year, the Geneva international competition where every rider dreams of shining, as if he found himself in an arena of gladiators with this audience of connoisseurs who were so joyful.
