The All England Jumping Course at Hickstead has made the 'difficult' decision to run the Royal International Horse Show under a new format this season because of the ongoing Covid situation and restrictions on international travel.

The July fixture would normally host five-star international classes including the Longines King George V Gold Cup and the feature event, the Longines FEI Jumping Nations Cup of Great Britain, along with crowds of up to 50,000 across the six days.

For this year only, the Royal International Horse Show (20-25 July) will run as a two-star international event, with showjumping classes aimed at British-based riders.
