The Longines Hong Kong International Horse Show (LHKIHS) wrapped up its exciting three-day showjumping competition, celebrating a successful debut in the city as world-class equestrian athletes showcased their remarkable skills at the prestigious show.

Over 50 horses were flown into Hong Kong for the city's first 5-star international horse show. Over the three days, equestrian athletes delivered unforgettable performances to captivate spectators and set a resounding success.

Hong Kong Jockey Club (HKJC) Equestrian Team member Patrick Lam, along with his horse Dakota, placed third at the Longines Stakes on Saturday (February 15). They also placed fifth in the Welcome Stakes.

The winner of the biggest competition of the show—the Longines Grand Prix, was Denmark rider Zascha Nygaard Lill and his horse Com'on Stanley. 

At the HKJC Live zone, HKJC equestrian team riders Jacqueline Siu and Annie Ho shared their winning experience at the Hangzhou Asian Games. 

Beyond horse riding, the Lifestyle Shopping Village gathered over 50 brands related to fashion, equestrian, food, and beauty. Additionally, visitors took a sneak peek into renowned designers Barney Cheng, Harrison Wong, and Henry Lau's newest collection at the Fashion Runway. 

Visitors had the opportunity to taste exquisite dishes at the Chef's Theatre as 1-Michelin Star chef Angelo Agliano demonstrated his signature dish--Scallop Carpaccio with Black Truffle. 

Event organizer Richard Ireland anticipates an even grander show next year as he aims to gather enthusiasts from across the region and bring the best in equestrian sport. 

The 2026 Longines Horse Show is scheduled to take place at the Asia World Expo from January 30 to February 1 next year.
