Olympia - The London International Horse Show

In 1907, the First Royal International Horse Show took place in The Grand Hall Olympia . This year we celebrate the centenary of that event at Olympia 2007.

We are currently researching the early years of the show and more information will be available on this page and in the lead up to the show. In the meantime, here's a little taste of the type of material we have found - Lord Lonsdale who is shown in the top left of the picture below, was the driving force behind the show in 1907. This picture is a part of a magazine spread that reviewed the show at the time.

Whilst we research more history of the show in its early years, there is comprehensive history of the show from the 1970s to the present day which can be found by clicking through on the dates to the left.
