The London International Horse Show is set to be Charlotte and Gio’s last competition together, with Gio recently being sold to British Junior rider Annabella Pidgley – who will now take over the ride under Charlotte’s tuition.
Also competing on the first day of The London International Horse Show – this year held at ExCel rather than Olympia – were some of the world’s top drivers. Australia’s Boyd Exell finished second in the Extreme Driving class, narrowly beaten in the drive-off by Switzerland’s Jerome Voutaz. The World Cup Driving leg takes place today – best of luck Boyd!
