Fresh from his triumphant individual gold medal-winning performance some 10 days ago in the Olympic showjumping at the Tokyo Games, Great Britain’s Ben Maher will parade in front of his home crowd at the London Global Champions Tour on Sunday (15 August).

The Olympic gold medallist will bring his equine hero, Explosion W, owned by Pamela Wright and Charlotte Rossetter, into the arena where he will be joined by five other Olympic medallists from Tokyo for a very special ceremony.
