Saturday 18 December plays host to more exciting showjumping action with the LeMieux Six Bar, the Snowflake Stakes and the Longines Christmas Cracker. The second leg of the FEI Driving World Cup also takes place in the evening performance.
Sunday 19 December sees the Equine Rescue Services Mini Stakes, the Voltaire Design Mini Stakes, the Longines FEI Jumping World Cup and the Martin Collins Enterprises Christmas Tree Stakes, while the show finishes in fine style on Monday 20 December with the Voltaire Design U25 British Championship, the GS Equestrian Pony Club Mini-Major and the London Grand Prix.
In a tribute to the outstanding achievements of the British equestrian athletes at the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games, the London International Horse Show will also welcome the Team GB Olympic and Paralympic equestrian heroes in a celebratory parade, which will take place during the afternoon performance on Friday 17 December.
