Showjumper Spotlight: Marlon Zanotelli, ‘the rider without the horse is nothing’

In this Showjumper Spotlight we catch up with Brazilian CSI5* rider Marlon Zanotelli as the Longines Global Champions Tour wraps up in Mexico City! 

With riders and fans soaking up the sights and sounds of the vibrant Campo Marte showground in Mexico City’s historic Chapultepec Park, we grabbed Brazil’s Marlon Zanotelli to answer all our burning questions. 

Marlon tells us why he’s so excited to be competing in Mexico City and what makes LGCT the very best show jumping competition in the world. We hear why the relationship he and every other showjumper has with the horse is so very important, and how dedicated and important the grooms are. 

Marlon also gives us some great insight into what it’s like to be mounted up and riding into the ring at such a high level of the sport. For more unmissable behind-the-scenes content from the Longines Global Champions Tour, subscribe to GCTV today.
