Olympia, the London International Horse Show (17-23 December) has announced the top riders that intend to compete at the show in dressage, showjumping and driving.
The final showjumping and dressage entries will be announced on 6 December.
Show director Simon Brooks-Ward said: “We are delighted with the nominated entries this year.
“To have so many medallists from London 2012 including the full British gold medal-winning jumping team and all three medallists from the individual [jumping] competition is outstanding.
“Olympia will be a chance for the audience to revisit the triumphs of the Olympic Games and see these top riders back in action,” he added.
Dressage
The Reem Acra FEI World Cup Dressage leg, sponsored by Horse & Hound, looks set to be fabulous line-up.
Among the 10 Olympic combinations that could compete are two of the top three in the World rankings — Charlotte Dujardin and Valegro and Helen Langehanenberg and Damon Hill.
The competition could also pit Charlotte and “Blueberry” against her former horse Fernandez and his new rider Cathrine Rasmussen.
The British team will also boast Carl Hester and Uthopia and Richard Davison and Hiscox Artemis among others — see below for full teams.
Showjumping
The nominated riders in the Rolex FEI World Cup jumping competition (22 December) include all three individual winners at Greenwich — Steve Guerdat of Switzerland, Holland’s Gerco Schröder and Irish rider Cian O’Connor.
And all four members of the British gold-winning Olympic team — Nick Skelton, Scott Brash, Ben Maher and Peter Charles — plan to compete at Olympia.
Fans of Nick’s former ride Carlo may also have a treat in store if his new rider, Spaniard Sergio Alvarez Moya, brings him to the show.
Driving
FEI World Cup Driving returns to Olympia this year (19-20 December).
Seven drivers will compete over the two days.
Five competitors have been drawn by the FEI from the top 10 qualified drivers — Koos de Ronde (Netherlands), Theo Timmerman (Netherlands), Fredrick Persson (Sweden), Christoph Sandmann (Germany) and Georg Von Stein (Germany).
And two wildcards will compete — world number 1 Boyd Exell (Australia) and the stunt rider Daniel Naprous (Great Britain).
