The biggest prize fund on offer was in Switzerland, which hosted a Rolex World Cup qualifier, Grand Prix and the IJRC Top Ten final.
France's Keven Staut looks to have surely secured his place in the final after his win here on Silvana dus Hus. He now heads the Western European League on 63 points, 13 points ahead of Germany's Meredith Michaels-Beerbaum, fourth in Geneva with Shutterfly behind Canadian Eric Lamaze (Hickstead) and Sweden's Rolf-Goran Bengttson (Quintero La Silla).
Switzerland's Steve Guerdat made his home crowd proud by winning €50,000 and a Rolex watch by heading the Rolex IJRC top 10 final on Jalisca Solier. He earned it well by producing the sole double clear of the class.
Credit Suisse Grand Prix victory went to McLain Ward and Anatares F, the fastest of six double clears in the jump-off.

Porto CSI*** (9-12 December)
The odds looked good for Greogory Wathelet to win the three-star Francisco Lobo Guedes/Câmara Municipal de Matosinhos in Portugal and he didn't disappoint.
The Belgian rider had headed both of the qualifiers with Crushing Z, but in the Grand Prix rode the eight-year-old Sea Coast Cortes, beating Switzerland's Janika Sprunger and Utown Boy by three secconds.
