The Army, Navy and RAF will all be taking part in an equestrian competition at the London International Horse Show in December.

The event, held at Olympia, runs from 17 December to 23 December with the military taking part in the Services class.

This year marks just the third time that all three armed forces will be represented at the event, with working horses that have taken part in military parades all year on show.

The riders involved in the event include officers, non-commissioned officers, reserve personnel and three from mounted military units.

The Army Equestrian Team are certainly excited.

Qualification has occurred throughout the year with the 17-plus semi-final in Melton Mowbray whittling the field down to just eight combinations across the three services who will compete at Olympia.

The Services class will be on the afternoon of 18 December with the awards presentation later that evening.
