The first day of the Prenetics Royal International Horse Show got underway at Hickstead today, Tuesday 20 July with some great jumping across multiple levels.

Nicole Lockhead (Emerald Irish Cruise) took the Six Year Old qualifier before Will Fletcher claimed the Seven Year Old top spot with Baloutero.
Helen Rees scored a win in the EQ Horseboxes RIHS 1.20m Open with Bianca Du Rouet, while the final Winter Grades B&C Qualifier went to Shane Breen (Vistogrand), with the pair finishing just 0.22sec ahead of Louise Simpson and Starouge.
Tomorrow will see things get underway in the International Arena with a busy day of British Showjumping Winter Finals including the Pony Winter 128cm and 138cm Championships along with the Oakley Coachbuilders Winter JC Final.
