    • 1. Lottie Fry and Glamourdale wow London

    Having fallen in love with Lottie Fry and  Glamourdale when they won individual gold at the World Dressage Championships in Herning in August – if not before – the British public were ecstatic to see them in the flesh at London International Horse Show (LIHS). Lottie blushed and muttered a faintly embarrassed “thank you” at the yells of “we love you Lottie!” during the prize giving. The 26-year-old rider and the fabulous Lord Leatherdale stallion scored 90.99% to win the dressage World Cup freestyle, supported by Horse & Hound.

    2. Scott Brash’s World Cup victory

    And on Sunday, fellow Brit Scott Brash and Hello Jefferson gave the crowd even more to celebrate, winning the London World Cup showjumping leg from Daniel Duesser and Killer Queen VDM, with Jodie Hall McAteer on Salt ‘N Peppa in third.

    Scott and his Tokyo Olympic and 2022 World Championship ride gave a masterclass jump-off display, topped off by a mighty gallop to the last, to finish less than 0.5sec ahead of the German combination, with Jodie just over a third of a second behind.

    3. The winning 33-year-old gelding

    The oldest pony to compete at this year’s London International Horse Show secured the overall 2022 SSADL supreme in-hand championship. The ever-green 33-year-old gelding Charlie Brown, handled by his owner Emma Coates, sparkled his way around the famous arena to secure the hearts of judges Penny Clifford and Jackie Webb, despite being an impressive 18 years older than the required age of a senior contender.
