Each year, the Fédération Equestre Internationale honors actors of equestrian sports at the FEI Awards ceremony, which this year was presented by Swiss watchmaker Longines. On the 5 people elected, the young American rider Reed Kessler, who will take part in the Gucci Paris Masters, received the "Longines Rising Star Award" in recognition of her performances since its participation in the 2012 London Olympics.
Juan-Carlos Capelli, Vice President and Marketing Director at Longines:
"Longines is delighted to present this award which recognizes young talent aged 14-21 years. To support these hopes is very important for Longines ... We realize that these young athletes are the future of the sport. "
