About London International Horse Show

The London International Horse Show, formerly widely known as Olympia Horse Show, feels quite settled into its new home at the ExCel London in the Royal Docks area of Newham, East London.

London International signals the start of the festival period for equestrians and is the only UK show to host all three FEI World Cup qualifiers in dressage, showjumping and driving. It takes place from 18-22 December this year.

As well as the show’s traditional favourites, such as the Shetland Pony Grand National and the Christmas finale, the show also features top-class action from across the disciplines, including the FEI World Cup dressage competitions, supported by Horse & Hound.

There are also an array of shops located in the retail village and plenty of food and drink outlets for you to choose from.
