Olympian and World Championship dressage rider Simone Pearce showcased her growing talent in showjumping at the Longines Global Champions Tour in Vienna, riding her 10-year-old mare Neugschwents Loretta. Competing in the CSI1* classes, she achieved three clear rounds and secured eighth place in both the 1.10m Two Phase Special and 1.15m Against the Clock events out of 21 competitors.

Simone is expanding her equestrian career beyond dressage, embracing showjumping alongside her fiancé, top rider Martin Fuchs. She expressed deep gratitude for her mare and support team, describing Loretta as “the best horse in the entire world” and appreciating the opportunity to learn and grow in this new discipline with the guidance of her fiancé and team.
