2023 RECAP
CONGRATULATIONS to Britain’s Guy Williams, on Mr Blue Sky, who won the Puissance crown. The only duo to clear 7ft 2 in the fifth and final round at the ExCel Arena! It was the fourth time the pair had won the event. And a record fifth London International Horse Show title for Williams. The Longines Jumping World Cup also had a thrilling finish. Ben Maher and Enjeu De Grisien triumphed in a spectacular jump-off. At one stage it looked like Daniel Coyle riding Legacy would take the title, only for the pairing of Scott Brash and Hello Jefferson to take the lead. Step forward Brash’s Team GB teammate Maher who went clear in a breathtaking fashion to snatch a dramatic victory in the last round of the night.
International competition features three FEI World Cup Qualifiers in dressage, showjumping and driving. Daily performances also include the usual mix of equestrian displays such as the the Shetland Pony Grand National and Christmas Finale (see link to the full daily programme below).
