The final day of the London International Horse Show provided a fitting conclusion to what has been a six-day exhibition of equestrian excellence. Notable victories in Show Jumping were achieved by the esteemed John Whitaker in the Six Bar, London International Horse Show Ambassador Jodie Hall McAteer in the Mistletoe Speed Stakes, and the triumphant team led by Ryan Moore which outperformed Sir AP McCoy’s side in the Markel Jockeys Jumping in aid of the Injured Jockeys Fund.

The concluding class of the Show, the prestigious London Grand Prix, was won by Ireland’s Daniel Coyle riding Legacy, who produced a flawless double clear over the challenging 1.60m course. Meanwhile, Matthew Sampson ended his week in London as Leading Rider of the Show, after consistent placings in nearly every class since he won the opening Christmas Pudding Stakes on the first day of the Show.

Within the bustling schedule of the London International Horse Show, audiences have also been treated to a showcase of top-level sport and spectacle throughout the week, including The Kennel Club Dog Agility, the lightning-fast Defender Shetland Pony Grand National, and captivating displays from the King’s Troop Royal Horse Artillery and the Pride of Portugal Lusitano Display. The introduction of the New Horizon Plastics London Arena has expanded opportunities for both participants and visitors, hosting over 25 classes in the new Rising Star Showing Series, six LeMieux Masterclasses, the Brilliance Horse Auction and more – all of which have proved to be immensely successful.
