World Champion Glamourdale to Compete in London

Double FEI World Dressage Champions Lottie Fry and Glamourdale will be competing in the FEI Dressage World Cup™ Grand Prix and Freestyle to Music supported by Horse & Hound on Thursday 15 December and Friday 16 December respectively. It will be the first time the pair have competed on home soil since their remarkable performances in Herning earlier this year.

The Live Zone is back and will feature more action than ever before.

Masterclasses take centre stage at the Show this year. ‘Dressage Unwrapped: Back to the Future’ returns on Thursday 15 December in the Main Arena, featuring the likes of Lottie Fry, Carl Hester MBE and Richard Davison. Furthermore, three new masterclasses have been added to the schedule this year including the ‘Para Dressage Showcase’, The ‘London International Riding Academy’ masterclass and ‘Pippa Funnell’s Winter Survival Guide’.

More Reasons to Come to London

The Longines FEI Jumping World Cup™ will take place on the afternoon of Sunday 18December with reigning champion Harry Charles hoping to retain his title. Charles, who was a pivotal part of the British 2022 World Championship bronze medal-winning team, also claimed the London Grand Prix last year, so will be looking to close the 2022 Show in similar style. Show Jumping action starts on Thursday 15 December with the Voltaire Design Under-25 British Championship where London International Horse Show ambassador Jodie Hall McAteer will be looking for a hattrick, having won the last two editions of the class.
The adrenaline-fueled Extreme Driving supported by Karen and Hugh Scott Barrett will take place on Thursday 15 December, with the FEI Driving World Cup™ presented by Eurofip International taking centre stage on Friday 16 December and Saturday 17 December.
Back by popular demand, the Fancy Dress Relay makes a welcome return to the London International Horse Show but with a modern makeover and a celebrity judging panel. The whole evening will be rounded-off with a festive After Party in the Champagne Taittinger Champagne Bar, where competitors will join in the fun and dance the night away, and anyone in that night’s audience wearing fancy dress will have free entry.
The Markel Jockeys Jumping in aid of The Injured Jockeys Fund returns to The London International Horse Show for the first time since 2019, featuring some of the most prolific jockeys of Great Britain and Ireland. Heading the boys’ team will be 20-time champion National Hunt jockey Sir Anthony ‘AP’ McCoy, whilst the record-breaking Rachael Blackmore will represent the girls.
There will be daily performances from The Devil’s Horsemen and La Garde Républicaine. Both have prepared thrilling acts that will have the audience in awe of their horsemanship and skills.
The shopping village is back and better than ever. With over 200 stands, where you can purchase anything from a hoof pick at Hope Valley Saddlery to a horsebox at Bloomfields Horseboxes, the shopping this year has something for everyone. Shoppers can fuel their fashion passions with luxury lifestyle brands such as Holland Cooper and Fairfax & Favour, whilst the horse mad will be delighted to know that all their favourite brands such as Voltaire Design and Aztec Diamond Equestrian will be in attendance.
And finally, a bit of fun for all the audience – the Show’s ‘unofficial dance’ will be the TikTok sensation, ‘Made You Look’. The Show’s professional dance troupe will be teaching ticket holders the moves from Meghan Trainor’s hit song through dance lessons in the Main Boulevard, after which the crowd in the arena will be invited to join in during the event itself.
