Thomas Fuchs honoured for his long-standing commitment

As part of the ‘The Winners’ Swiss Team Trophy, Thomas Fuchs is being honoured for twelve years as national coach of the show jumpers. Swiss Equestrian President Damian Müller praised the achievements of today’s birthday boy in his laudatory speech: «Thomas has accompanied the national team for 12 years and had a strong influence on it. Thank you for everything you have done for our association.»

Fuchs was presented with a bench, took a seat on it and looked at his former protégés before saying: «I have noticed that many of my students ride better than I do – and I have always been able to rely on good camaraderie.» Regarding his future plans, he said: «I will continue to follow the Swiss team and support them from time to time. More time for my grandchildren – I don’t really have any specific plans.»

The emotional highlight of the day was a group photo with the riders, accompanied by thunderous applause – a moment full of recognition for Thomas Fuchs and his outstanding commitment to Swiss show jumping.
