The Longines Royal International Horse Show at Hickstead is a very traditional show, and while most famous for being host to the Longines King George V Gold Cup as well as the Longines FEI Jumping Nations Cup of Great Britain, there is also a lot more going on.

There are hundreds of showing championships across the six days and in addition there is scurry driving, side-saddle classes, national showjumping classes and tiny cross-poles for the very youngest of equestrians so there are all kind of ponies and horses competing alongside the 5* showjumpers.

It is also a fantastic arena with beautiful surroundings and lots of space. We are already looking forward to next year!
