Robert Smith won the Puissance in the spectacular Piazza di Sienna arena in Rome on Jerry Maguire. Undaunted, the talented combination had the crowds on the edge of their seats as they cleared an enormous 2.20m puissance wall. They had won the competition at 2.10m but were offered a bonus of 50,000 euros if they jumped clear over 2.20m. Never one to turn down a challenge, Robert and Jerry cleared it with ease and were presented with a fabulous prize from Longines.

Robert was also on the team for Great Britain competing in the Samsung Super League where he jumped an impressive clear round on Di and Pennie Cornish's stallion Marius Claudius with just four faults in the second round.
