s n o i p m a h of the c

We are deeply grateful for your partnership and support.

With heartfelt gratitude, we thank you for standing with us.

What makes the Brussels Stephex Masters so special is not only the world-class sport, but the people who bring it to life. Our riders, our partners, our visitors, and our team. Year after year, your trust inspires us to dream bigger, to refine every detail, and to create an atmosphere where sport, style, and community meet.

In 2025, Brussels once again became the stage where legends rose and new stories were written. The thrill of the Rolex Grand Prix presented by Audi reminded us why we do this: to celebrate excellence, courage, and the bond between horse and rider in front of an audience that shares our passion.

On behalf of the entire Stephex Events team, I want to thank you for being part of this journey. Your support is not just appreciated, it is the foundation of everything we build. Together, we are not only shaping an event; we are shaping memories that will last a lifetime.

Let’s continue writing this story, together.

Nina Mallevaey crowned true Master of the Brussels Stephex Masters Nina Mallevaey crowned her breakthrough at the CSIO5* Rolex Grand Prix, presented by Audi, with a career-defining victory at the Brussels Stephex Masters. The 25-year-old French rider, already triumphant with Les Bleus in Friday’s Nations Cup, delivered the fastest double clear aboard Dynastie de Beaufour to secure her first 5* Grand Prix.

Currently world number one in the U25 ranking, Mallevaey began her international career thanks to organiser Stephan Conter, who enabled her to train under Eric Lamaze. Fittingly, her first appearance for Lamaze was at this show at CSI3* level; four years later, she returned as overall champion.

More than 14,500 spectators witnessed this record-breaking edition. Conter praised the mix of youth and experience on the podium: “What a breakthrough performance from Nina against two established names!”

“No words can describe this feeling. To win my first 5* Grand Prix here in Brussels is a dream come true.”

France’s Young Stars Shine in the Henders & Hazel Nations Cup presented by STX Finance France proved untouchable in the CSIO5* Henders & Hazel Nations Cup presented by STX Finance. With just 4 penalties, they claimed a convincing victory ahead of Belgium on 9 and last year’s winners Switzerland on 12.

The French team combined youth and experience. Nina Mallevaey (Dynastie de Beaufour) and Antoine Ermann (Floyd des Pres) both delivered double clears, while Jeanne Sadran (Dexter de Kerglenn) only lowered one rail in the second round. With anchor Roger Yves Bost adding his trademark stability, France supplied two of the evening’s five double clear performances. Chef d’Équipe Edouard Couperie pointed to the team’s recent European Championship as decisive: “The horses have the quality, the riders the talent and now also the experience. In Brussels, they were rewarded for it.”

For Belgium, the afternoon began dramatically when Pieter Devos (Casual DV Z) was eliminated after two refusals. Still, the European Champions staged a remarkable comeback. Gilles Thomas (Ermitage Kalone), Thibeau Spits (Impress-K Van’t Kattenheye Z) and Grégory Wathelet (Bond Jamesbond de Hay) carried the team from seventh after the first round to a strong second place finish. “We have to admit that France was outstanding.

They deserved the win,” admitted Spits. Wathelet emphasized Belgium’s depth: “We finished second with just three riders, while the chef d’équipe still has strong combinations waiting in the wings.”

For Henders & Hazel and STX Finance, the Nations Cup once again highlighted why this historic team competition remains the ultimate showcase of national pride and sporting drama.

AUCTION

Unlimited Pommex Z shines as top-seller at the Stephex Exclusive Breeding Collection Auction The 2025 Stephex Exclusive Breeding Collection Auction once again set a benchmark for excellence in sport horse breeding. Breeders, riders and investors from across the world joined in Wolvertem and online, united by the promise of future champions.

Unlimited Pommex Z (United Touch S x Emerald), born from the exceptional Jeunesse van ’t Paradijs, emerged as the star of the evening. The dark bay filly was the auction’s top-seller at €180,000 and, to everyone’s delight, will remain in Belgium.

Another standout was Clin D’Oeil Pommex Z (Comme il Faut x Kannan), whose pedigree combines legendary performance bloodlines with a proven sport mare.

She quickly became one of the most admired foals of the night.

In total, all 11 foals were sold, achieving a turnover of €730,000 and an average price of €66,363, a testament to the quality of the collection and the confidence of buyers worldwide.

“I want to share the genes of our very best mares with breeders, because that is where everything begins. With the Stephex breeding programme, retired champions continue to shape the future, ensuring Belgium remains the heart of the sport horse world. ”
