Hard working, tenacious and talented, Simon Delestre is a regular feature at the top competitions around the world.
Frequently selected for the French team, he can call on exceptional horses such as Napoli du Ry and Whisper. In 2011, he racked up a string of impressive performances on the CSI5* circuit, with a notable 16th place finish in the World Cup final, and has fought his way into the World Top 10.
Qualified for his first Olympics in 2012 with Napoli du Ry, the French is unlucky. After a clear round, his right rein breaks on the last before the first team event. He finished with six penalty points.
Since, luck came back. In 2013, he won the Grand Prix CSI5*-W Bordeaux, got 3rd by team at the Nations Cup in Rome with Qlassic Bois Margot and won with the same horse, the gold medal by team in the final of the prestigious Circuit Furusiyya FEI Nations Cup in Barcelona.
