Olympia - The London International Horse Show

British Riding Clubs Quadrille of the Year

Now in its 14th year the British Riding Clubs Quadrille competition has become a colourful favourite at Olympia, each year the themes and costumes appear to be more ingenious and standard of riding ever better.

Each of the four teams of four, who have qualified at events across the country during the preceding year, chooses a theme for their display. Over the years these themes have varied from Robin Hood to Mary Poppins and even the Wizard of Oz. Costumes, music, dressage movements and riding skills are all employed by the team in a bid to wow the judges.

Marks are awarded for Appearance, Content of Programme, Performance and General Artistic Impression in this spirited contest, which mixes precision riding with the spectacle of pantomime.
