Christmas countdown: Happy Christmas!

Seasons greetings from Olympia

The end-of-season party at Olympia attracted top riders from home and abroad, including world number one Ludger Beerbaum and German maestro Franke Sloothaak, who gathered in the capital to sample some festive cheer.

Among the special features this year were the daredevil Flying Csikos from Hungary, the Metropolitan Police team, as well as our old favourites The Osborne Refrigerators Shetland Pony Grand National, the Pedigree Dog Agility Stakes and of course, that enchanting Christmas Finale, which sent everyone home with a smile on their face.

Olympia is a unique festive experience not to be missed uniting all horselovers through the magic of Christmas. . . see you there next year!
