The London International Horse Show comes to an end: the British 25-year-old rider summits the five-star 1.60m London Grand Prix at home

On December 20, UK local time, the london international horse show finale day of the competition ended successfully. In a five-star 1.60m London Grand Prix with a total prize fund of €125,000, U25 rider Harry Charles, who represented The United Kingdom at the Tokyo Olympics, continued his stunning performances and performances from previous race days to win the title again.

Brazilian Guillherme Jorge set up a route of 13 obstacles, 16 jumps (including a 5AB double combination obstacle and an 8ABC triple combination obstacle) for the 29 pairs of centaurs participating. In the whole process of travel, not only did not leave any room and space for the combination of people and horses to make mistakes, but also put forward extremely high requirements for accuracy and power. At the end of the round, the 9-pair combination opened the door of the playoffs with zero penalties.

Harry Charsay, who made his debut in the play-offs, rode the 15-year-old Dutch warm-blooded horse Borsato with a steady, fast and smooth march that crossed all obstacles to finish with zero penalties and 33.53 seconds. While setting the tone for the game, he also threw the pressure on the subsequent debut of the combination of people and horses, and as desired, maintained the lead until the end of the game, and successfully reached the championship podium. It is worth mentioning that his father won this game in 1993.

French rider Edward Levy, despite all his efforts, still failed to catch charles's marching rhythm, finishing the race with zero penalties and 34.30 seconds to finish third. Former World No. 1 Netherlands Flyer Harrie Smolders, who finished with zero penalties on the previous matchday, also failed to shake Charles's lead, finishing fourth with zero penalties and 37.02 seconds.

British rider Ben Maher, winner of the Tokyo Olympic individual race, and Ginger Blue also launched a strong impact and challenge to Charles's results, but they were also fruitless, and finally finished second with zero penalties and 33.94 seconds. With the victory in this race, Charles also became the first rider to win the Longines FIM Steeplechase World Cup London and The London Grand Prix after Robert Smith in 2005.

After the game, Charles said: "I can't do better than this and have never experienced such a perfect weekend in my career. Thank you to all of you who have worked hard to make the race a success, this is my first time here and I can't wait to be here again. Frankly, I don't think I'm doing it perfectly. The riders and horses behind me were quick, and I just tried my best and was ecstatic about the outcome. The audience brought us back to the familiar atmosphere of the game and thank you for your support this weekend. ”
