PEEBLES showjumper Scott Brash has retained the Longines Global Champions Tour title.

The 28-year-old finished fourth in the final grand prix in Qatar..

And it was enough to stay on top of the points table for a second year.

Sweden’s Rolf-Goran Bengtsson and Casall Ask won under the spotlights of the Al Shaqab stadium and finished the 2014 Tour with 243 points.

Scott and his 12-year-gelding Hello Sanctos, completed the season on equal points with Rolf.

However, Scott’s three wins over the season compared to Rolf’s two, meant that the overall title went to the world number one.

Scott collected a cheque for 294,500 Euros for his win, plus a further 45,000 Euros for his grand prix fourth.

And he was quick to praise the horse that’s carried him to the number one position.

Scott said: “He’s a winner, a horse in a lifetime. I often wonder if he’s been jumping a lot, but his strike rate is phenomenal.” Hello Sanctos’s owners Lady Harris and Lady Kirkham travelled to Qatar to witness their gelding help Scott to a second GCT championship, just a week after he celebrated holding the world number one spot for a whole year.

Scott’s wins on the 2014 tour came in Cannes, Estoril and in front of his home crowd at the London leg of the Global Champions Tour.
